Slick is the first word that comes to mind when I see Cold Steel's Recon-1 series folding knives.
The Recon-1 is available in these styles:
1. Clip Point (Plain or half serrated)
2. Tanto Point (Plain or half serrated)
3. Spear Point (Half serrated)
After hearing a lot of recent hype about the Recon-1 folding knives, I decided to get one of my own (Spear Point, half serrated).
What I like about the knife :
1. The Recon-1 has a handle made from G-10 which feels almost like sandpaper in your hand. I like this feature because it gives your hands good protection from slipping unto the blade.
2. The pocket clip is ambidextrous. You can use a T-6 torque wrench to switch the pocket clip from side to side. With the same wrench you can remove every other screw except for the pivot pin.
You can remove the larger screw (pivot pin) with a T-10 torque wrench.
3. The blades are crafted with Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel. This steel holds a good edge and is very easy to sharpen.
Every Recon-1 blade is hollow ground. This means that the blade tapers down to a RAZOR sharp edge.
4. Cold Steel's Ultra Lock mechanism has been tested to hold over 200 pounds. This gives you added peace of mind.
5. Recon-1 blades have a black Teflon finish. This helps to prevent rust and reflections.
What I didn't like about the Recon-1:
I like just about everything about the Cold Steel Recon-1 folding knife. The only blade size available is 4 inches. I hope that they come out with a 3.5 or 5 inch model.
Overall :
With a suggested retail value of $119.99, Cold Steel's Recon-1 series is well worth every penny.
These knives are made to handle some punishment.
