Cold Steel Recon 1 – Spear Point (S35VN, Plain Edge, DLC Coated)

The Cold Steel Recon 1 Spear Point is one of the most trusted tactical folders in the world—favored by military units, law enforcement officers, fire and rescue personnel, and demanding EDC users who rely on a blade they can trust when it matters most.

Built from the ground up for combat‑level reliability, the Recon 1 features a razor‑sharp 4-inch American CPM‑S35VN blade with a durable DLC (Diamond‑Like Carbon) coating for exceptional corrosion resistance, stealth, and edge longevity. Its spear point profile delivers outstanding piercing strength and clean slicing performance in any environment.

The G‑10 handle scales, aggressively textured for enhanced traction, pair with Cold Steel’s legendary Tri‑Ad Lock—one of the strongest lock mechanisms ever engineered—making this knife nearly impervious to shock, hard use, and extreme conditions.

Lightweight for its size yet tough as a tank, the Recon 1 is the go‑to folding knife for professionals who demand uncompromising performance. Whether for daily utility, field deployment, or high‑stress tactical situations, the Recon 1 stands ready for any mission.
