Love the recon 1 what do I buy next?

For Slim and trim, Code 4. But the glaring design flaw is at -40 degrees your bare hand gets cold using it due to the all metal make up of the knife. It can't be user "error" can it? 🤓

Who is using a code 4 at -40 degrees? I feel like Alaskan/Canadian fur trappers are a minority of knife user makeup and probably catch on real quick that aluminum is a bad choice.

At -40 degrees frostbite will occur very quickly, gloves are a necessity. But yea agreed that there are better scale materials for the extreme cold, of course I don't own only one knife(about 150 now) so I have all seasons covered. Like any tool you should tailor it for the job.

I operate in temperatures of 18 degrees to 105 degrees for the entire year. I guess what I’m saying is most people don’t need to make knife choices around the thermal conductivity of the metal in their knives.. at least not to the extent some would have us believe.
 
The AD-10 is such a great knife that you don't notice that it is larger and heavier than most folders with under-4" blades. Handling it, you don't see anywhere that you would rather have less size, and it is beautifully proportioned. I am still struggling with the decision about keeping the clip on the knife or in the box with the second clip. I have ordered tiny Torx screwdrivers since the clip screws are a lot smaller than the smallest I have now, T10.

Hey Bf I’ve purchased my first Cold steel and I’m really loving the recon 1 great size materials action for the price. I’ve noticed that hardly anyone posts a cold steel on the for sale section that’s got to say something about them. Anyway this knife has really got me wanting to dive deeper into the world of CS. Anybody have any suggestions on which couple of knives I should purchase next? Thanks for your time have a good urn, I’m all ears.

The AK-47 and American Lawman knives are practically cousins of the Recon 1. All three are fine knives. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to pick up an American Lawman.

If they offered the AL with an uncoated blade I would definitely get one.
