Cold Steel keep their name popping on our radar with a pocket knife that’s ready to tackle any task. Outfitted with a clip-point stainless steel (Japanese Aus 8A stainless steel) blade that has been vacuum heat treated and sub-zero quenched for optimum performance. Not to mention the fact that Cold Steel has also finished the 4-inch blade off with black Teflon that resists everything from rust and glare to light reflections during tactical operations. All of that while also ensuring the blade maintains consistent lubrication during cuts. The Recon 1 is easy to transport, weighing in at just 5.3 ounces, and features a nonslip grip G10 scaled handle working in conjunction with the brand’s Tri Ad locking system to promote super grip in the field. A stainless steel pocket/belt clip makes it as easy to take anywhere, and the reasonable price (along with the small size) makes it a hard choice to pass up.
