Cold Steel is famous
for raising the bar in the knife industry and their Recon 1 tactical
folders are setting a standard that's hard to beat. Why? Because they
are as tough as nails and will cut like a chain saw! Every facet of
their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong,
durable and effective as humanly possible. The blades are made out of
AUS 8A stainless steel that's been vacuum heat treated and sub zero
quenched, and the handles feature G-10 laminate scales, massively
reinforced by heat treated steel liners and five locking bolts. To
compliment their super tough blades and handles, they each feature our
revolutionary Ultra Lock (patent pending), which practically precludes
lock failure. To compliment their tactical mission we have given each
blade a tough black Teflon finish. Their testing has shown this coating
or finish offers three major advantages for use on tactical blades. The
first is; it is highly resistant to scratches and abrasions while
keeping rust at bay. The second is; it eliminates glare and light
reflections which may give its user away. The third is; 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 Cold Steel Recon 1 as
easy to
carry as possible, they have equipped each knife with a small, extra
strong pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous so lefties
take note. What's more, its diminutive size doesn't abrade and irritate
the palm under protracted use like a larger clip would.
