Review: Best knives bar none with the best steels and most dependable locks, the Triad lock system! - Cold Steel Recon 1 is absolutely a thick extremely sharp piece of CPM S35VN steel that's crazy sharp and this steel is not about to give up.. This is a absolute amazing knife for the money, probably one of if not the best and I say thay from many years of personal experience in hand to hand sellf defense. With the S35VN steel which is truly amazing blade steel and one of the most absolute smoothest functioning non assisted folders fresh out of the box is something that's tough to beat. This is my EDC folder or even going out into the woods for a hike this is the blade will do you right. Remember this is not full tang knife but with the Triad Lock system it's as close as you're going to get to actually being a fixed blade with a full tang, it's that good. I have Cold Steel Recon 1's S35VN tantos and Cold Steel Recon M1 Clip point in Magnacut hand made in Italy which is a dream of a EDC knive. Anyone of those knives are as good as it gets and far better knives for the money than most anything else out there. Certainly nothing better, maybe as good but that's very debatable to say the least. If you need a EDC that's a extremely excellent self defense tactical blade you are going to be tough to come close to this in longevity/dependability and awesome blade steal with a unbeatable locking system. Then you ad the price and you just can't compare. Own a 300 dollar knife for a fraction of that price and have a better knife in the end by far..... No matter the price of the knife you can't beat the real world use with a Cold Steel! Review: ANOTHER GEM FROM COLD STEEL! - Cold Steel has achieved another home run with this model. For me, the overall size is just right: not to large and not too small. The handle's texture and configuration is ideal. You get a grip that is comfortable and secure. Their locking system is a thing of beauty and may well be the best and most secure locking system of any folding knife - ever! When the blade locks open, it does so with an audible "CLICK" and a feel that lets you know it's not going to close until you make it happen. The blade is a tad stiff to open, but that's a good thing. It will smooth out in time. It does take a bit of effort to close the blade, but again this is a good thing because it reminds one of how rock solid and secure the mechanism is. The 4" blade is razor sharp, so use caution while handling. The pocket clip is typical Cold Steel. It has heavy tension and will keep the knife in place. I tend to use a belt pouch for knives of this size, but this one is slim, lightweight and carries well in a pocket, so either way you'll be fine. I don't know what kind of finish the blade has, but it appears to be a quality job. It's not some cheap powder coating or other such finish that will wear off easily. Another great feature is the steel itself. S35VN is a high grade steel that is durable, strong, and fairly easy to sharpen. You get a lot for you money with this steel. In summation, I like everything about this knife. Ounce for ounce, dollar for dollar, this is true bargain. I've had and seen folders costing a lot more that were not this nice. If you are on the fence about this knife, hop down and get one ordered. You cannot go wrong. God Bless America and stay safe out there! ## Features - SUPERIOR DESIGN - The Recon 1 folding knives are characterized by their thin, lightweight design, yet they are exceptionally strong and resilient; Available with different blade shapes and edges to suit diverse preferences and requirements - EXCEPTIONAL BLADE - The Recon 1 folder features an American S35VN blade with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, combining exceptional sharpness with remarkable durability; The DLC coating enhances corrosion resistance and extends the lifespan of the blade - SECURE GRIP - The Recon 1 high-quality G-10 handle provides a secure grip even in challenging conditions, such as when wearing thick gloves or working in cold or wet environments; This ensures precise control and minimizes the risk of accidents during use - TRI-AD LOCK - Equipped with Cold Steel's renowned Tri-Ad locking mechanism, the Recon 1 folding knife offers unparalleled strength and shock resistance; This locking mechanism enhances the knife's reliability and safety during heavy-duty tasks - SPECS - Weight: 5.2 oz (147.4 g); Blade Thickness: 3.5 mm; Blade Length: 4"; Blade Steel: S35VN w/DLC Coating; Handle Length/Material: 5.375" G-10; Overall Length: 9.375"; Knife Type: Folder; Blade Shape: Tanto Point; Locking Mechanism: Tri-Ad Lock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07B1BMSPH | | Age Range Description | 18+ yrs | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,799 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #10 in Tactical Knives | | Blade Edge | normal | | Blade Length | 4 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Tanto Point | | Blade Type | Folding | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,178) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442017622 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Fiberglass | | Included Components | Cold Steel Recon 1 Series Tactical Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock and Pocket Clip - Made with Premium CPM-S35VN Steel, Tanto Plain Edge | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 9.38 Inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | FOLDER KNIFE | | Item Weight | 0.16 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Model Name | Recon 1 4" | | Model Number | REC1 | | Part Number | 27BT | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Fighting | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 4" | | Special Features | Manual | | Style | Tanto Point; Plain Edge | | Theme | Tactical | | UPC | 705442017622 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.
