Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry and the Cold Steel 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 S35VN w/ DLC Coating and the handles feature G-10 laminate scales artfully contoured and scalloped for a terrific non slip grip. Plus, they are held together by the latest in high strength mechanical fasteners and further anchored by a 6061 heat-treated spacer. To compliment their super tough blades and handles they are equipped with Cold Steels revolutionary Tri Ad lock, which practically precludes lock failure.
Cold Steel's 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 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, Cold Steel have equipped each knife with a thumb disc and small extra strong pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous. What's more its small size doesn't abrade or irritate the palm under protracted use.

Add to BasketA big tough folder. Extremely strong and well built. Will last for ever.
Very solidly built,sharp and functional knife. You can use it like a fixed blade knife with complete confidence. Very slight gripe is that lock release is a bit stiff, but that’s better than it being too soft (bye bye fingers!). It is a well built workhorse so probably deserves 5*. My fallkniven pxl is prettier, and more elegantly engineered, but it’s a lot more expensive. I’d put this in my backpack rather than the fallkniven, which I don’t want to get dirty!
Strongly built knife which comes razor sharp with a nicely coated chemically blacked blade. But there is a big problem in that its virtually impossible to depress the lock catch with thumb pressure because the lock bar spring is way too strong. Not good on a £165 knife. The Espada XL I purchased also has the exact same problem. Poor quality control by Cold Steel Taiwan !
A quality tough as nails knife with all Black finish. Super strong lock-up guarantees your safety along with the comfy grip scales. Excellent blade steel makes this a super cutting tool for most situations.
