Military-grade folding knife with 4" S35VN DLC-coated tanto blade, black G-10 handle, and Cold Steel's legendary Tri-Ad lock. Trusted by law enforcement and outdoor professionals.
The Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto is the choice of military personnel, law enforcement officers, and professional rescue crews worldwide. This is a knife engineered without compromise—sharp as a scalpel, tough as a tank, and built to perform when it matters most.
The 4-inch tanto blade is forged from American S35VN stainless steel and finished with a durable DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. This combination delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a non-reflective finish ideal for tactical applications. The tanto point excels at piercing and controlled cutting tasks.
Every aspect of this knife's construction has been over-engineered for maximum durability. The blade thickness of 3.5mm provides the rigidity needed for demanding cutting tasks, while the weight of just 5.2 ounces keeps it practical for all-day carry.
Cold Steel's world-renowned Tri-Ad lock mechanism is nearly impervious to shock and lateral stress. Your fingers stay safe from harm, even under the most taxing conditions. This lock has proven itself in the field for decades.
Whether you're a professional who depends on your tools or an outdoor enthusiast who demands reliability, the Recon 1 Tanto delivers.
