I've been trying to locate a picture of the Cold Steel advert that ran in magazines like Guns and Weapons for Law Enforcement, Soldier Of Fortune, S.W.A.T. etc in the late 80s/early 90s.

The advert was for the Recon Tanto, basically worded to the effect of :
'the strongest, sharpest fixed blade on the market, currently the preferred fixed blade of SWAT and entry teams'

If anyone could post a picture of this advert, that would be appreciated.
 
No help on the ad, but one of the tag lines the used for years was -

"The Recon Tanto is redefining the standard for combat knives and is fast becoming the preferred fixed blade for SWAT teams and special military units."

That might help track it down.
