Cold Steel Recon Tanto 7"

Tough Build! Perfect 7 inch blade size for Tactical and EDC applications. COLD STEEL quality with ease of use sheath and the reliable functionality well known to their products! The blade is razor sharp; grip is non-slip, and the blade locks securely in the secure ex sheath. Outstanding blade worthy of any collection or usage!

This was very nice. I did return it because I just decided I didn't need it. But it was very nice, it was very sharp. It was very good quality and seem to be extremely well. Made very durable, and it was weighted, perfect. Just a little more than I expected, as far as size. So I returned it like I said It does give you date good, quick speed movement. Because it is not too heavy and it was a good deal for the money as well. So it's good quality. I just didn't want it. It was too much for what I needed. It for but it was a good deal

This is a baby katana! More than razor sharp, this is surgical sharp. Real nice size for an excellent fighting or slashing weapon. It's about as thick as a silver dollar and feels really good in hand. I haven't used it but I garentee it will stand up to all the rigorous things your using your bushcraft knife for like chopping and batoning . I'm saving this knife in shtf bag mainly for skinning and preparing game but also would be nice in event someone needs surgery. This thing rocks and is extremely durable and it's got thick black paint to stop it from rusting or wearing down. I now own the cold steel kobun and this RSK and both I can't say anything bad about, there built to last and extremely sharp. The checkered rubberized black handle makes these very easy to use and deploy with excellent grip and I'm definitely buying another just for my car. The recon tanto is so much better than the kobun but both are very nice to have. I like the black paint because it won't create a glare in sunlight or other light. I'm thinking about blueing the kobun so it's not so shiny. This recon tanto is thicker than any knife I own except my bush knife/ machete and it's built to last forever, I'm not telling you to use it as a prybar or screwdriver but for regular use you shouldn't ever need another. The tool steel it's made of should retain an edge for quite some time and take edge easily when it's time to sharpen. I'm a huge fan of cold steel and I only have bought 2 of their knives and I'm planning on buying the $600 cpm3v kukri because it's talking to me bad and will replace your machete and hatchet. I'll definitely 100% recommend the recon tanto and the smaller kobun. By far the sharpest knives iv ever saw and I'm 39 years old, iv saw my fair share of knives. The recon tanto has a really nice 7 inch blade and very nice sheath and handle. The sheath is of incredible quality and will last the life of the knife unlike leather sheaths that don't last a decade or so in heavy use. I'm a very happy customer 😀 with my cold steel recon tanto and kobun. Just received my 2nd one and its just as good as the other. This is the best survival knife on earth in my opinion.

Great knife, great Christmas gift, great price. My dad loves this knife. Hair shaving sharp right out of the box. Like all cold steel knives.

Perfect knife or short sword, came well oiled and sharpened.The knife locks into the sheath perfectly and it looks just like the pic. Thanks!

I received my SK-5 today. It had been on my I want that list for awhile but I believe it was included in a lighting deal yesterday. Well before I got the chance to place my order the it was back at its Amazon's regular price. After discounts and rewards cash I still payed less than $10 for it 👍 I don't know about everyone else but I'm always skeptical about buying Products from Cold Steel due to the amount of counterfeit items out there. Cold Steel could easily resolve the issue simply by including QR code that can be verified at their web site. I suppose that that's too difficult for them or they just don't care maybe they sell their second quality items to distributors that then enter them into the normal supply channels. Some people might say that couldn't happen on Amazon and I cannot say with 100% certainty that it does although I'm certain of it. If counterfeit pharmaceutical medications can enter the supply chain anything can! Ok so the Pros: Solid knife I like the hollow ground tanto blade Seems to be solidly built It came sharp could be sharper The Cons Handle is to short and boxy for even medium sized hands Knife is extremely front heavy Finger guard and the shape of the rear of the grip make it very difficult to change your grip The grind is uneven The sheath is junk It feels like the grip would slip if it were covered in oil or similar fluid maybe that's why it has a plastic finger guard. Will it cut absolutely would it be my first choice to pack Not even my second. If the handle was modified perhaps it would be easier to confidently change grip quickly especially under stress. One thing that struck me as odd about this blade is that the blade was covered in oil and seems to be in the sheath I've never seen that before on any cold steel item I've ever Purchased in the past. Also the uneven grind makes me suspect the knife I received could possibly be a 2nd quality item from Cold Steel. For the price it's OK I wouldn't buy it again I'm still giving it 4 stars hard to find a $30 knife in this range.

Great knife to have! Great quality, weight is good, blade is sharp and works like a knife should! Grip is comfortable

Seems legit. Materials and fit/finish are on point. Razor sharp out of the box. Everything consistent with my expectations of Cold Steel budget offerings...time will tell how it holds up versus my other Cold Steel knives.

Magnifique couteau de combat pour un militaire

Sehr sehr gut verarbeitet und extrem scharf. Liegt perfekt in der Hand! Würde ich definitiv nochmal kaufen

Hace 13 años compré mi primer Cold Steel Recon Tanto en acero inoxidable AUS-8. Me ha servido bien todo éste tiempo, el diseño de éste cuchillo es muy resistente. Cold Steel ha mejorado aún más la eficiencia de ésta herramienta al fabricarla con acero de alto carbono SK-5. Es un acero casi igual al 1095, superando en dureza y firmeza al AUS-8, lo cual es un bono a su favor, si bien no es inoxidable. Los aceros de alto carbono requieren ser limpiados y aceitados cada vez que se van a guardar en su funda para prevenir la oxidación. Un poco de DW-40 o aceite ligero para máquina de coser son suficientes para éste fin. Aunque está diseñado como un cuchillo de combate/táctico, es tan versátil que se desempeña bien en otras áreas donde sus dimensiones trabajan a su favor, como batonear. Para trabajos donde una hoja chica con filo Scandi es mejor, puede usarse con las limitaciones propias de su configuración, pero es muy bueno dentro de un amplio rango de actividades. Dada su relación calidad-precio lo recomiendo 100 %

If the sheath didn't scratch up the handle so much it would be an easy 5 stars but I give it a 4.5 but aside from that, this knife is almost perfect, comes extremely sharp and is ready to use. This is the 3rd or 4th Recon Tanto I have bought because when I parted with my other ones, I missed it and so I got my hands on a new one. The sheath is decent, absolutely no tattle of any kind, knife is easy to deploy. This knife has 2 grinds, hollow grind on the main blade and a sabre grind at the yokote going up to the tip, which gives it it's strength. The knife is thick at 5mm and is very strong and durable. I have seen this knife endure all kinds of abuse. Not only is this a good tactical, self defense knife, but it can slice, chop and feather stick very well in bushcrafting and camping tasks. You can literally go hard with this knife and it will take it all and the best about it, it's very cheap so you could always get another one as a back up or to keep in you vehicle or bugout bag. It's one of my favorite, in the top 5, all time favorite knife. This is the original American Tanto, done by Cold steel, the first mass producer of the American Tanto so you're getting the original, it's definitely a legend and an awesome utility tool. I NEVER leave home without my Recon Tanto. And if you doubt the strength of this knife, just watch the Recon Tanto in action on YouTube. Just get one, you definitely will not regret it, I'm thinking of getting another one as a backup to keep in another backpack.

Surpreso com a qualidade! Leve, robusta e confortável na mão.. fio navalha e gostei da ponta que parece ser bem resistente 🤝
