Recon 1, in MagnaCut

[DocJD]

Triad Cold Steels and have never had a spring break (actually I've never had a spring break on any back lock

Me neither !

Used some pretty hard . Many opening and closing cycles . Hard and fast wave opening or shake down / gravity type opening

Never broke anything on a Tri-ad folder . Had to tighten up the pivots on a few I used for throwing , is all .

Did hear about failures on early Swift models . Improper tempering of the weird "wishbone" AO spring . They fixed that problem , I believe .

It seems that almost every single person has an issue with Recon M1...

I woke up to texts of my friend that aside from being gritty and uncentered (both, blade and even lock bar) - it's becoming more difficult to open and close. He now has to do both with 2 hands.

This is a real crying shame .

Basically a good design , but just poor lazy lack of QC .

GSM needs to learn how to work out the bugs, before full production on a new design .

With all the information here about the Recon1 Magnacut, I won't be buying one.
I hope the Recon1 also comes in S35V with a stonewashed finish. But please, not from Italy.

I got 1...its just gritty from the factory. no other issues so far. I ordered the uncoated blade version. I'll update if it has any issues.

I really hope that yours won't have any issues. Because it'd be really disappointing if it did.
