The Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto

[Nemo]

Hello,

I have updated my blog with a review of that great folder.

YMMV but really I'm impressed with the quality of construction of this very clever folder.
Clever ? This folding Tanto ? Yes, because this testosterone weapon has proven its value in the wood and in the kitchen. The secondary edge is great for some whittling and the knife can used as a light chopper.
I was very surprised also in the way it has been constructed. No play in the pivot.
I'm not a fan of AUS8. But this Cold Steel Heat Treatment has proven to be very well made. It holds an edge very well and is very easy to keep as a razor.
Really, with a all black coated blade, I would love a Rowen heat treated steel on such a a great platform knife.

Thanks for sharing. I like that knife but I'm waiting for the new Voyagers though.

Yes ! The new Voyagers are going to be great travelling tools.

The new Voyager is out, but only in clip point at present. I'd love to see it compared to the Recon.
