Be aware, It might scare the timid people in the room.
In my search I was looking for a knife with a light weight, low profile, and with a thinner blade for slicing, not a bush beast to baton and chisel with. I wanted a good steel, a 3 1/2" - 4" blade, and either G10 or micarta scales. The search lead me to purchase the Recon 1.My first impressions are as follows:1) It's a well built, quality knife with great attention to detail. I was initially hesitant to purchase at $105 but at 4" long, 1 1/4" tall, and about 1/8" thick, that's a pretty good sized slab of high quality steel in that blade!2) The G10 scales are comfortable and lightweight. At 5 1/4" the handle fits my large hand perfectly. The finger grooves are contoured nicely, and the texture of the G10 makes for a secure grip on the knife.3) It's high quality steel (s35vn), razor sharp, balanced and centered grind. The blade closes dead center with good detent, and locks back with a very distinct "snap" as the triad lock engages. The triad lock mechanism is amazing!4) I'm not a fan of coated blades on folding knives, but the finish on this one is uniform and appears to be good quality. It's not a powder coat, plastic or epoxy coating that adds texture or thickness to the blade so I'll live with it. The main reason I don't like these types of coatings is that as they inevitably scratch and wear, they take away from the visual appeal of the knife, moreso then an uncoated blade. This is a tactical style knife so I understand why they did it, and I purchased it knowing this, but I would love to see this knife also offered with the exact same handle scales and an uncoated s35vn blade. I considered the Code 4 because it appears to be about the same profile handle, but the handle is aluminum, and the blade is a little smaller.Overall the Recon 1 is a large folding knife but the light weight, combined with the slim profile, and black deep carry pocket clip, makes it comfortable and discreet to pocket carry despite its physical size. This knife is well suited for use as a work horse for daily use, for personal defense, or a pocket princess to show off when the occasion arises.

Quick Specs
Blade Length: 4" (3.5mm thick)
Blade Steel: CPM-S35VN
Blade Finish: Black DLC
Handle: G10
Handle Length: 5 3/8"
Weight 5.3 oz
Lock Style: Tri-ad Lock
Excellent knife for the money. I've only had this particular one for a few weeks but it's replaced my older Recon 1 that I had, loved and used reliably for many years... until sadly I lost it. I own 5 or so dozen knives of all varieties, from super premium to budget and everything in between and this knife is well made and a great value.
The blade came razor sharp, is 4" and made of premium CPM S35VN, which is very nice. The handle's are standard but tough and not overly grippy G10, w/ a bronze washer pivot joint and opens rather nicely. Not as smooth as ball bearings, but w/ a washer you won't have to worry as much about the pivot filling up w/ gunk. It's a large, proscriptive handle with 2 aggressive finger grooves for your index and middle fingers. It fits my large hands very well, but those w/ small hands *might* find it just a bit large... (that's what SHE said! 😝)
Some notes: the "Tri-ad Lock" lock-up feature can be a tad stiff to disengage at first. But don't be discouraged, it gets much easier w/ just a little use. If anything it might be a bit overbuilt for your average Joe. However, if you're like me and your life could very well depend on a knife working(?) I'm really glad it's so reliable & strong!
All in all it's a large, yet still relatively lightweight at 5.3oz, well built, reliable, tank of a knife! No more - but most importantly to many - no less. Perfect for hard use. With my large frame (6ft/230lbs) it's perfect for EDC. 10 out of 10, I highly recommend!

O canivete que mais gosto na minha pequena coleção !!!

Vamos lá... Assim que chegou se notava como algo bruto, sem nenhum refinamento, abertura áspera e a trava Tri-Ad Lock era uma decepção, pois era dura de uma forma que se tornava inviável abri-lo sem machucar os dedos, além da dureza desta tornar o fechamento muito inseguro, já que esta barra tensionadora também é responsável pelo impulso à lâmina para que esta seja levada até sua posição inercial. Tanto abrindo como fechando parecia uma guilhotina com uma força desnecessária, e seguramente, qualquer mínima falta de atenção poderia ocasionar um acidente.
Decidi desmontar tudo utilizando chaves T6 e T10 (Torx) e pude notar que as arandelas de latão e também as de teflon estavam secas, sem nenhum óleo (esse modelo usa duas sobrepostas de cada lado da lâmina). A barra de metal que tensiona a trava Tri-Ad Lock estava com uma curvatura muito mais acentuada que o necessário para o bom funcionamento do conjunto, tornando a abertura completamente dura e também deixando a abertura e fechamento perigosos como relatado acima.
Despois de suavizar as curvaturas da barra tensionadora e lubrificar tudo o cenário mudou completamente, aí sim pude começar a perceber os detalhes de algo realmente admirável. Mesmo o G10 sendo bruto, se entende por ser um modelo mais direcionado ao uso táctico. A lâmina possui uma espessura bem razoável e o desenho de desbaste é no mínimo muito bem feito e bonito.
Não possui um revestimento que se possa chamar de resistente como se vê em modelos Spyderco ou até na pequena faca espanhola fabricada pela Cudeman que exponho na foto, e que possui um simples acabamento oxidado (o mesmo utilizado em muitas armas de fogo) e pode ser refeito facilmente pelo usuário. O desbaste da lâmina é plano, mas algumas vezes me pergunto se é algo côncavo. Não veio muito afiada de fábrica, mas não isso não será um problema.
O aço norte-americano CPM S35VN da Crucible dispensa comentários, é um aço classificado como premium (não ultra premium como o Maxamet, Magnacut, Elmax, CPM S110V, M390 dentre outros), mas possui uma excelente retenção de fio, embora isso seja um ônus na hora de afiar, mas nada que um kit de afiação Lansky ou até afiadores diamantados não resolvam. A tenacidade também é excelente, assim como a resistência à corrosão, além de possuir uma dureza razoável que fica entre 60 e 61HRC utilizando 0,50% de nióbio em sua composição.
Logicamente seria muito interessante que a Cold Steel atualizasse este modelo para o aço CPM S45VN, que possui melhorias se comparado ao primeiro, pois utiliza 0,15% de nitrogênio para esta melhora.
Bem... Mesmo sendo quase uma faca de bolso, devido a seu tamanho, eu o tenho utilizado no dia a dia e só deixo de levá-lo quando o bolso é pequeno, circunstancia onde dou preferencia ao modelo P105 da Ruike, que só pra comentar, é um excelente canivete. Este Ruike é uma verdadeira obra de arte, sem falar no sistema de rolamentos que faz que a abertura seja extremamente rápida e suave. Com certeza um dos melhores canivetes em custo benefício, deixando coisas como o RAT1 e 2 em AUS-8 para trás.
