Cold Steel Recon 1 4" Clip Point Plain Edge – Tactical & Durable Knife

Cold Steel Recon 1 Folding Pocket Knife – 4" CPM S35VN Clip Point with Tri-Ad® Lock

The Cold Steel Recon 1 is one of the most respected tactical folding knives ever produced, trusted by military personnel, law enforcement officers, first responders, outdoor professionals, and everyday users around the world. Designed to withstand the toughest conditions, the Recon 1 combines premium materials, exceptional cutting performance, and Cold Steel's legendary Tri-Ad® Lock into a rugged, dependable folding knife built for serious work.

The 4-inch clip point blade is crafted from premium American CPM S35VN stainless steel, delivering outstanding edge retention, exceptional toughness, and superior corrosion resistance. Finished with a durable Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, the blade offers increased wear resistance, reduced glare, and additional protection against corrosion. Its razor-sharp clip point profile provides excellent slicing performance while maintaining a reinforced tip for precision work and demanding cutting tasks.

The lightweight G-10 handle is precision machined to provide a secure, non-slip grip in wet, dry, or harsh environments. Despite its heavy-duty construction, the Recon 1 remains surprisingly thin and lightweight, making it comfortable enough for everyday carry while being strong enough for professional use.

At the heart of the Recon 1 is Andrew Demko's legendary Tri-Ad® Lock, widely regarded as one of the strongest and safest folding knife locking mechanisms available. Combined with an ambidextrous thumb stud and pocket clip, the Recon 1 delivers fast deployment, exceptional reliability, and dependable performance in any situation.
