The Cold Steel Knife Recon 1 tactical folders are sure to set a new standard that will be hard to beat, because they are as tough as nails and cut like a chainsaw! Every facet of their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong, durable and effective as possible. The blades are made out of our proven 440 A stainless steel and the handles are thick Zytel®, 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 each blade has been given a tough black Teflon® finish. 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 is equipped with a small, extra strong pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous and its diminutive size doesn't abrade and irritate the palm under protracted use like a larger clip would.
