Product detailed description
The Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto Plain Edge is a legend among tactical folding knives, designed with an emphasis on uncompromising durability, reliability, and high cutting and piercing performance. The knife’s defining feature is its tanto-geometry blade with a smooth edge, crafted from American CPM-S35VN stainless powder steel, which excels in exceptional toughness, excellent edge retention, and wear resistance. The black protective coating, which effectively shields the metal, eliminates unwanted glare and enhances the steel’s corrosion resistance.
The ergonomically shaped handle, made of extremely strong black G10 composite, features an aggressive texture that ensures an absolutely secure and stable grip even with wet hands or when working with gloves. Easy one-handed opening is ensured by a thumb stud on the blade, while uncompromising safety and structural strength are guaranteed by the iconic Tri-Ad Lock. Practical features include a reversible pocket clip and a lanyard hole at the back of the handle, making the Recon 1 the ideal choice for emergency responders, outdoor activities, and demanding everyday use.
