The Recon 1 knives feature our world-renowned Tri-Ad lock, making them almost impervious to shock and keeping your precious fingers safe from harm when using your knife in even the most taxing conditions. Available with different blade shapes and edges: a clip point (plain edge), spear point (plain edge), tanto point (plain edge), and tanto point (50/50 plain serrated). FEATURES: - G-10 Handle; - S35VN Steel Blade; - Tri-Ad locking Mechanism; - Ambidextrous Pocket / Belt Clip. SPECS: Weight: 5.2 oz (147.4 g); Blade Thickness: 3.5 mm; Blade Length: 4"; Handle Length 5 3/8"; Overall Length: 9 3/8". Review: Robust and comfortable - Great knife. Robust. Not pricey. Easy to operate. Good quality. Good medium size. Not bulky. Very lightweight as for such robust knife. Good materials. No blade play in any direction. Blade is centered. My personal comments: I prefer handle with better griping(even Spyderco's G-10 have better grip); it's not suitable for easy and quick finger flipping; be very careful when closing it - the last inch of blade movement is fast and powerful. It's main purpose for me - need a good knife during war. Review: Very Strong, tough knife. - I have put this knife thru some hard cutting task, it does everything it should and has replaced my overpriced overrated EDC knives. Love the S35VN steel it does hold a scary edge. Lock is hard to release needs to stay lubed and takes a long time to break it. Mine was a return and nothing wrong with knife other that takes a strong thumb to release lock to close blade. I like this knife a lot but know the lock will be tough and take thousands of closings to break in. ## Features - SUPERIOR DESIGN: The Recon 1 folding knives are characterized by their thin, lightweight design, yet they are exceptionally strong and resilient; Available with different blade shapes and edges to suit diverse preferences and requirements - EXCEPTIONAL BLADE: The Recon 1 folder features an American S35VN blade with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, combining exceptional sharpness with remarkable durability; The DLC coating enhances corrosion resistance and extends the lifespan of the blade - SECURE GRIP: The Recon 1 high-quality G-10 handle provides a secure grip even in challenging conditions, such as when wearing thick gloves or working in cold or wet environments; This ensures precise control and minimizes the risk of accidents during use - TRI-AD LOCK: Equipped with Cold Steel's renowned Tri-Ad locking mechanism, the Recon 1 folding knife offers unparalleled strength and shock resistance; This locking mechanism enhances the knife's reliability and safety during heavy-duty tasks - SPECS: Weight: 5.2 oz (147.4 g); Blade Thickness: 3.5 mm; Blade Length: 4"; Blade Steel: S35VN w/DLC Coating; Handle Length/Material: 5.375" G-10; Overall Length: 9.375"; Knife Type: Folder; Blade Shape: Spear Point; Locking Mechanism: Tri-Ad Lock - VERSATILE CARRY OPTIONS: Features an ambidextrous pocket and belt clip that accommodates both left and right-handed users, providing convenient and secure carry options for everyday use or tactical applications - TRUSTED BY PROFESSIONALS: Widely used by Military and Law Enforcement Personnel, Fire and Rescue crews, as well as civilians who require a hardworking and dependable tool for demanding tasks and everyday carry needs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CKV4BRD | | Age Range (Description) | 18+ yrs | | Age Range Description | 18+ yrs | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,126 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #19 in Tactical Knives | | Blade Edge | spear-point | | Blade Length | 4 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Spear Point | | Blade Type | folding | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 707 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442017653 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Fiberglass | | Included Components | Cold Steel Recon 1 Series Tactical Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock and Pocket Clip - Made with Premium CPM-S35VN Steel, Spear Point Included Components Cold Steel Recon 1 Series Tactical Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock and Pocket Clip - Made with Premium CPM-S35VN Steel, Spear Point See more | | Item Length | 9.37 inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | FOLDER KNIFE | | Item Weight | 0.16 kg | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Model Name | Recon 1 4" | | Model Number | REC1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 27BS | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Fighting | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 4" | | Special Feature | Manual | | Special Features | Manual | | Style | Spear Point; Plain Edge | | Theme | Versatility | | UPC | 705442017653 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.

I like this knife a lot but know the lock will be tough and take thousands of closings to break in. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you have to have ONE Cold Steel folder, make it the Recon 1 *by R***2 on August 25, 2026* Probably the most valuable/practical knife of the Cold Steel folding line. These are razor sharp, well made, sturdy, and quite balanced knives. The action smooths out after working with it a bit. The feel in the hand is very natural as the scales allow for great gripping without chewing up your hand. The total black is a cosmetic drawback for me but that is a minor concern. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Recon 1 4" S35VN Razor-Sharp Blade 5.375" G-10 Handle Tactical Folding Knife w/Tri-Ad Lock, Ambidextrous Pocket/Belt Clip - Cold Steel Mini Recon 1 3" AUS10A Razor-Sharp Blade 4" GFN Handle Tactical Folding Knife w/Tri-Ad Lock, Ambidextrous Pocket/Belt Clip - Cold Steel SR1 Lite 8Cr14MoV Steel 4" Blade Griv-Ex Handle Tactical Self-Defense Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Locking Mechanism, Pocket/Belt Clip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/71642098-recon-1-4-s35vn-razor-sharp-blade-5-375-g](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/71642098-recon-1-4-s35vn-razor-sharp-blade-5-375-g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
