Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto Knife

Rating:  

If you are looking for a first hand quality knife at a relatively cheap price, a Cold Steel Tanto Knife is definitely what you are looking for. The qualities of a perfect knife are all molded into this type of knife. It is strong, durable, highly resistant to scratches, it eradicates glare and light reflections, and it cuts deeper as compared to other knives; absolutely recommended for the military and the police.

The black finish which is a baked-on black powder coat, or also known as Black Teflon, prevents the blade from reflecting light and from rusting. The tanto-style point which is a Japanese design tip is thin enough to puncture but thick enough to take serious beating. It has a somewhat chisel-like point that is thick towards the point which makes it very strong. If you have seen Japanese long and short swords then you know what a tanto point is.

The Recon 1 Cold Steel is a tanto knife that has a “hand guard” and G-10 laminate scale handle which almost feels like sand paper in order to provide the best possible grip to protect your fingers from slipping on the handle.

This tactical knife, which is purposely made for combat also has other uses which come in handy for outdoor activities. You don’t need to bring your kitchen knife if you’re out for a picnic. Cold Steel knives are also useful for craftworks, as they cut wood and may even break rock as the edge is seemingly impossible to chip. It is very sharp and yet also easy to sharpen. The blade is made out of imported Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel that has been vacuum heat treated and sub-zero quenched.

Apart from being a terrific tool, a Cold Steel Tanto knife is also suitable for personal protection and is a preferred model by the SWAT teams and special military units. (Check with you local authorities to ensure it is legal for you to possess before buying!) If you are a collector, this is one item you may consider adding to your knife collection.

Most cold steel knives are pricier compared to this one. You get the same features and the same benefits half the price. The Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto knife is an excellent addition to your survival and protection kits. With a combo blade which has a serrated base it is as sharp as any knife can be, it cuts deep, it’s stainless, has a G10 grip and it is sturdy. In view of this, it is no surprise that the Recon 1 is a tactical knife bestseller.
