To complement their tactical mission we have given each blade a tough, black, Teflon® finish. Our testing has shown this coating offers three major advantages for tactical blades. First, it helps the blade to resist rust. Second, it eliminates glare and light reflections, which may give its user away. And third, it's a superior lubricant, which causes the blade to slip through even tough material with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non-Teflon® coated blade. To make the Recon 1® as easy to open and carry as possible we have equipped each knife with a thumb disc and small extra strong pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous so lefties please take note. What's more its small size doesn't abrade or irritate the palm under protracted use.
Thin, light, sharp and incredibly tough, the Recon 1 is willing and able to aid you on your next mission!

Cold Steel delivers again
This is a very solid and well made knife. The blade remains sharp and the structure of the handles provide a good grip, even during wet conditions. Good balance and a nice looking design. Give it my strong recommendation!

Can't beat it!
I've carried this knife on me every day for over a year now and have not had any problems with it. It hold a very slim profile in my jeans front pocket and is no problem carrying around; even though it is still considered a large pocket knife to many. The locking mechanism is so sturdy, it feels like a fixed blade. Its razor sharp and holds its edge well. The black finish can scratch off with time, but hasn't bothered me. It has a great natural contour in your hand. I definitely recommend this knife.

A knife for life
This is the best tactical folding knife I've ever owned. I've had absolutely no problems with it after years of use. It always sharpens to razor-sharp and the locking mechanism is second to none. I get ZERO play in the blade or handle when locked open - even after years of use and no adjustments. As far as I can tell, it's just as strong as any fixed blade. This is one of Cold Steel's finest tactical folders and will last me the rest of my life.
