Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry and the Recon 1 tactical folder has set a standard that is 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 it as strong, durable and effective as humanly possible. The blade is made out of AUS 8A stainless steel that has 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 the super tough blade and handle, the Recon 1 features the revolutionary Ultra Lock, which practically precludes lock failure.   

To compliment the Recon 1's  tactical mission, each blade has been given a tough black Teflon finish. Cold Steel's extreme 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 Recon 1 as easy to carry as possible, each knife has been equipped 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.
