The entire point of the handles is to be thin. It's made primarily as a concealable EDC, where thinness is an important attribute. They have PLENTY of other knives with chunky handles lol

[@EDCTantoKnives]

I guess it’s a problem when your used to something the size of the Recon 1 which I was just carrying 🤣

[@Jason-oo4jg]

Exactly - i want it THIN / LIGHT / SHARP 🔪

[@mdubb4855]

Thin is a feature not a bug. I would even remove the clip. G10 is heavier so thin helps there too. Contours and sunken screws weaken handle slightly. Still waiting tor adoption of T8 fasteners.

[@EDCTantoKnives]

It's just such a small knife compared to typical cold steel knives 🤣

[@jaredbryant8297]

I can’t wait till they release the engage tanto

[@iParacord]

I’m a fan of cold steel. I’ve had my American lawman, Ak-47 mini, and spartan for 12 years now. They all still work just fine. Haven’t used the spartan for much day to day stuff. Looking at the ad-10 and ad-20.5 both in s35vn right now. The triad lock has my faith that’s for sure so I may lean more towards the ad-10 for now. The shark lock being newer.

[@philliprobbins2170]

I’m surprised nobody’s made the bugout comparison? I think it’s fantastic,only have the g10 version but I love everything about it except the price. CS could/ Should have done s35vn at this price point. Pretty sure Demko told them they could get away with these materials at this price point lol. That’s my only negative.

[@EDCTantoKnives]

Yes, the price is my only real problem too! For about thirty dollars more you can get the recon 1 in s35vn, and it’s a lot bigger 🤣

[@joshcarter-com]

I’ll join the chorus: the thin scales would be great for pocket carry without bulk. Maybe not as great in the hand, admittedly, but great in the pocket. Looks like a perfect EDC.

[@patrickmccrea3455]

This was great thank you i want this knife but i want the 4 inch blade dose it come in a 4 inch blade?😊

[@EDCTantoKnives]

Well the verdict doesn’t come in that size yet. But you can get the Recon 1 Check it out m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fau2goWseL-EfpI

[@kuplung22]

If the plastic handle is the same like on pro lite I would buy it.

[@concealmenttraining9371]

I like the new matte finishes... hope they keep using it

[@EDCTantoKnives]

It’s popping up on all the knives right now, so it’s probably going to continue

[@Zeeangelofdeath]

Nope. Leave it thin, you have a thicker knife already. Let us minimalist have the thin one

[@brodyberry6253]

Yeah i definitely think Cold Steel is going down hill. Smh it’s a shame too $90+ for that knife come on cold steel.

[@Metal_Matrix]

Thickness wasn't the point of this knife

[@phillipmargrave]

It’s not worth $100. That’s an insane price for such a small knife made of medium quality steel. $100 for a 3.5” 3V? Sure but not AUS10A. I’m disgusted with Cold Steel over their pricing on this small knife. I hope it bombs and they discontinue it because of low sales. It will serve them right.

[@EDCTantoKnives]

I agree the price on both the versions of the verdict are high for what your getting.

[@tacticalsweater5119]

Dude quit complaining. It's an economy thing, everything is going up, especially weapons. The knife is quality for its intended role, which is a well concealed self defense knife. Aus8, aus10, s3, whatever, any of those steels is going to give someone a bad day if you have to use it.

[@birdlaw1019]

Look at Benchmade and Spyderco prices. Now those are a gouge!

[@mdubb4855]

​@@tacticalsweater5119 you're right

[@jaredbryant8297]

@@tacticalsweater5119 wrong, it’s billed as an EDC knife, and 4116 is a very budget steel. You get the AUS 10a in the Recon 1 mini for about 55 dollars. The AUS10a verdict is nearly 100. That’s ridiculous
