Carry Type: Pocket Clip Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry and our new Recon I tactical folders are sure to set a new standard that will be hard to beat. Why? Because they are as tough as nails and will cut like a chain saw! We have pulled out all the stops when we made these knives. 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 440A Sub Zero Quenched 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 we have given each blade a tough black Teflon® finish. Our 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 I as easy to carry as possible we have equipped each knife 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.UltralockAfter 2 years of experimentation and testing, Cold Steel® is proud to introduce our new Ultra Lock.™ We believe this revolutionary locking mechanism (patent pending) is as “fool proof” as it gets and represents a big advancement in safety. The way the lock works is as the knife is opened the blade rotates in a semi circular manner around the locking pin via a larger cut channel in the blade tang. Then just prior to reaching the fully opened position the spring loaded locking pin moves forward through the oncoming straight portion of the tang channel until it “dead ends”. At this point the blade is rigidly locked open and can't budge even a fraction of an inch as the locking pin is surrounded by solid steel which prevents any movement of the blade. In fact this lockup is so strong it can only be overcome in two manners. The first is to apply so much force to the blade that the locking pin shears off or breaks through the solid steel blade tang. The second is to manually retract the locking pin far enough that it escapes the straight part of the channel. Once this is done the curve portion of the channel can engage it and once again rotate around it as the blade is closed.   Average Customer Review: Based on 2 Reviews. Write a review.

Recon 1 October 6, 2008 Reviewer: Jeff Long from Flagstaff, AZ United States   Super strong knife. Locking mechanism is super strong. Point is very sturdy, but not overly fat/thick. Very sharp! Handle grips- grips hand very well. Feels nice in hand. Beautiful knife. Was this review helpful to you?

i think this was my 4th knife April 2, 2008 Reviewer: Derek Bergstrom from Bigfork, MT United States   Ive had the Recon one for almost a year. good point strength. very good point strength. very good edge retention for a stainless blade. the coating makes cutting through something like tomatoes safer because of the fact that it slides through- you have more control. no reflection means you wont be seen unintentionally. the locking mechanism is my favorite, the ultra lock. wont fold up on you. unless you want it too, it will have to break the blade. the G10 handle is synthetic and wont warp crack or rot. it has a lot of grip even when wet. very strong material, ive done some bashing with the pommel end.
