The Cold Steel Recon 1 CS27BC delivers professional-grade cutting performance in a compact 4-inch folding design. This tactical folder combines premium American S35VN steel with a Diamond-Like Carbon coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting tasks.
What Makes This Different
The Recon 1 stands apart from standard folding knives through its use of American-made S35VN steel, a powder metallurgy stainless steel that maintains edge retention 2-3 times longer than conventional 440C steel. The DLC coating provides additional hardness up to 70 HRC while reducing maintenance requirements. Cold Steel's Tri-Ad lock mechanism offers 3-point contact security that exceeds the strength of traditional liner locks by approximately 300%.Key Features
