Cold Steel Recon 1 Spear Point DLC S35VN, with the following mods:
Full height flat-vex grind, satin blade and tang, ~.025" behind the edge, neutral handle that allows grip closer to the cutting edge, swapped small slotted side of thumb stud for larger Voyager thumb stud. Removed (most of) the coating from the clip, sanded under clip. Re-etched blade with "Regrind" mark, and "S35VN" mark. Removed coating from the exposed part of the lock bar and back spacer. Handle butt slightly shortened and rounded, to increase overall perceived blade length to handle length ratio.
Basically, I made all the mods that I would want if I were to keep this for myself as a versatile hard use folder. Lock up is every bit as strong as factory, and action is smooth. If you thought the Recon 1 was comfortable, and a good cutter before, wait 'til you try this one!
SOLD
Box and black coated left side clip included.
Thanks for looking!
