i think you will find the scout more useful for camping than the tanto.

Tantos are for high speed special forces operators only.

I love my Recon Scout, you will not be disappointed.

The ReconScout is a great outdoor knife. Thick blade and flat grind will split wood real good. Classic blade shape that can do anything you ask from an outdoor/utility knife. Good news for you they have been discontinued and you can find one for under $60 from eBay.



The RECON TANTO is for real .mil OPERATORS only. I once heard that the British SAS waited in trenches for Saddams tanks and opened them up with the RECON TANTO when they passed over them. Serious stuff that RECON TANTO.

The Recon Scout would no doubt be a wholly more appropriate knife for utilitarian uses and camping. The traditional blade style leads to a lot more convenience of use and sharpening than the Americanized tanto-point of its other Recon counterpart. It's a good knife from a controversial company, now available for even cheaper because of the foreign-made SK5 version. That's something I totally disagree with, but it wasn't my call...

thanks for all posts.
what is yours favorite knive for that kind of jobs?

 

[Hammer27]

If you're set on Cold Steel (which isn't ultimately a bad thing) I recommend the SRK. It has the best features of both the Recon Scout and the Tanto and should be the best for your general utility work.

Well, I don't actual see what you REALLY want the knife for, other than Outdoors and camping. What kind of tasks are you going to be doing?

 

[gile83]

Like I sad, I want knive for outdoors and camping.
But I want to say, maybe if had some another manufacter of knives for that kond of job, to recomend.
Thanks for all posts!

I agree with most of the experts here.
The Scout is a very versatile knife, and I personally prefer it to the SRK just because of the size and the weight. Better chopper and splitter. But ultimately is a matter of the size that you feel more comfortable with. The Scout is 7" and the SRK is 6" and almost half the weight of the Scout. If you want a good deal in terms of price, check this sites out:

Good luck

Recon Scout, love the looks and the blade has a lot more slicing ability than the Tanto

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

Totally the SRK. Great sheath, great ergos, ricasso so you can choke up on it, and a total pry-bar of a blade that still cuts and chops well.

 

[pedicabdriver]

another vote for the recon scout. the trailmaster is decent as well.

Edit: Whoops, I'm in the wrong thread!

Stop it already !

It`s obvious you really WANT that Tanto (and it`s a damned good knife), so BUY it.... after using it for awhile and you find out it`s not exactly what you needed, *then* buy the SRK....that`s why we call it "collecting", Dude !
