Cold Steel
 
Introducing the Micro Recon 1's. With a 2 inch blade they share most of the features of their larger counterparts. The only differences are the handle slabs are made of Faux G-10, and the pocket clip has been replaced with a small key ring.

Recon 1® Series

Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry and our Recon 1® tactical folders are setting a standard that's hard to beat. Why? Because they are as tough as nails and will cut like a chain saw!

With a 2 inch blade, they share most of the features of their larger counterparts. The only differences are the handle slabs are made of G-10 Griv-Ex™ Style, and the pocket clip has been replaced with a small key ring. Every facet of their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong, durable and effective as humanly possible. The blades are made out of imported Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel that's been vacuum heat treated and sub-zero quenched and the handles feature G-10 laminate scales artfully contoured and scalloped for a terrific non slip grip. Plus, they are held together by the latest in high strength mechanical fasteners and further anchored by a 6061 heat-treated spacer. To complement their super tough blades and handles they're equipped with our revolutionary Tri-Ad lock™ , which practically precludes lock failure.

To complement their tactical mission we have given each blade a tough, black, Tuff-Ex™ finish. Our testing has shown this coating offers three major advantages for tactical blades. First, it helps the blade to resist rust. Second, it eliminates glare and light reflections, which may give its user away. And third, it's a superior lubricant, which causes the blade to slip through even tough material with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non-Tuff-Ex™ coated blade. What's more its small size doesn't abrade or irritate the palm under protracted use.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight...
I needed something small that would travel lightly, yet cut like a larger knife & the Cold Steel Recon 1 Micro delivers!

Perfect 2nd Knife
I almost always carry a full size Recon 1, Endura, Rat 1 or similar large folding knife. These are all great knives but can be somewhat intimidating to the uninitiated. I have often found myself with a small cutting task but reluctant to draw unwanted attention from passing sheeple by using my primary knife. This is where the mini Recon 1 shines. With a super thin profile, negligible weight, bomb proof lock, and amazing grip for such a small knife I find it to be the perfect 2nd EDC knife. It would also be a great choice to stash in a mini survival kit.
