Customer Review
Awesome, as advertised.
I got this knife based on several reviews I've seen online (nutnfancy) as well as the videos from Cold Steel's catalog. Incredible knife. Great grip, solid and sharp as a razor. First day, cut myself two times playing with it. Its true what is written on the box "WARNING: EXTREMELY SHARP".

Product Description
Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry and our 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 imported Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel that's been vacuum heat treated and sub-zero quenched and the handles feature G-10 laminate scales artfully contoured and scalloped for a terrific non slip grip.

Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry. The Recon 1 continues the trend with its tough-as-nails build and chainsaw-like performance, setting a standard that's tough to beat. Every facet of the Recon 1's construction has been over-engineered to make it as strong, durable, and effective as humanly possible. The blade is made of imported Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel that's been vacuum heat treated and sub-zero quenched, while the handle features G-10 laminate scales artfully contoured and scalloped to produce a superior nonslip grip. Plus, the knife is held together by the latest in high-strength mechanical fasteners and further anchored by a 6061 heat-treated spacer.
To complement the knife's tactical mission, Cold Steel gave the Recon 1 a tough, black Teflon finish, which gives the blade three major tactical advantages. First, it helps the blade resist rust. Second, it eliminates glare and light reflections, which otherwise might give the user away. And third, Teflon is 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 the non-Teflon coated blade. Cold Steel also added a thumb disc and extra-strong pocket clip, making the Recon 1 easy to open and carry. The clip is completely ambidextrous, and its small size is designed to keep the palm comfortable under protracted use. Finally, the knife is outfitted with the company's revolutionary Tri Ad lock, which practically eliminates lock failure.

The Recon 1: A Man's Folder
I have owned this product for six months now and have carried it daily as a personal defense/EDC blade in conjunction with my Glock 27.The Good: Durable, Light(for a knife of this blade dimension), vault-like blade lockup, large blade, shaving sharp out of the box, comfortable in hand either in standard grip or reverse, finger grooves are functional, texture is excellent, No vertical or horizontal blade play.The Bad: The Teflon blade finish wears of rapidly (I'm talking days not weeks), may be a bit bulky for some people's EDC, the back lock's action is very stiff. The finish chips off the pocket clip rapidly, the clip is set lower than I would like, tip up carry is the only option(I don't mind but some might), the American Tanto blade will wear rapidly at the transition point.I like this knife and carry it on a regular basis but would definitely mention some of the cons before recommending it to a friend. I am confident that it would be more than...

Very nice knife for the price range
I did quite a bit of research before I bought this knife. I think it's important for consumers to know what they're buying, instead of just buying the knife, find out it's not what you're looking for, and give it bad reviews. For the short story, skip to the bottom for my "Man Review"This is a great knife. Lightweight and sharp. I knew it was going to be a rather large knife, but that's what I was looking for. Something bigger than a pocket knife, with the strength of a fixed blade.Some things to know. Yes, the Teflon coating scratches off easily. My knife is primarily for self defense, but if you're using it to chop bricks, it's going to come off. So far I've cut through rope, paracord, zip-ties, wires, etc...basically normal things, and it hasn't come off yet. Don't discount this knife because of the coating. Seriously, if you buy a knife based on it's pretty black coating because it looks neat and matches your shoes, you really should be shopping...
