Cold Steel Recon 7" Tanto
The Recon Tanto represents Cold Steel's commitment to producing a serious working blade for demanding users. This is a tool built without compromise.
Blade Design and Materials
SK-5 Steel Construction: The 7-inch blade is forged from SK-5 steel, a high-carbon Japanese steel known for holding an excellent edge while remaining relatively easy to sharpen in the field. At 5mm thick, the blade stock provides the rigidity necessary for heavy cutting tasks without excessive weight.
Tanto Profile: The distinctive tanto point—a design borrowed from traditional Japanese swords—offers superior penetration and control. This geometry excels at both slicing and piercing work, making it exceptionally versatile.
Black Tuff-Ex Finish: The non-reflective black coating protects the blade from corrosion while eliminating glint in tactical or outdoor scenarios.
Handle and Control
The 4.75-inch Kray-Ex handle provides a secure, non-slip grip in wet conditions. Kray-Ex is a proven material that resists degradation from UV exposure, moisture, and temperature extremes. The handle geometry supports multiple grip positions for different cutting tasks.
Sheath and Carry
The included Secure-Ex sheath offers reliable retention and quick deployment. It's designed for belt carry and field durability.
