For the price and quality the Recon Tanto is hard to beat. Been a staunch proponent of this blade since I bought my first back in the Carbon V and welted leather sheath days.

Yep! I also have a U.S. Made Carbon V version of this knife. I can honestly say - I've never felt a fixed blade that just seemed like it was part of my hand to the level the R.T. does. I have a pile of other fixed blades, including more Cold Steel tantos (Master and Warcraft) but that ol Recon Tanto is just so right 👍 I'm a sucker for the bling and nostalgia of the Master Tanto so it gets more time but I have to admit - it doesn't "flow" quite the way that ol Recon does. They nailed it with this one!

The Recon Tanto is the best budget survival knife out there! I took my SK5 up the eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine stopping everywhere to camp and fish. This trip took over 3 months. The Recon Tanto made a bow drill, chopped fatwood, made feather sticks, baton thousands of sticks for the gassifier stove. It fileted trout and other kitchen duties. I love this knife, so I got the San mai VG10. I wish it was still made in the CPM-3V.

In my Army days, I carried a Gerber 600 Magnum LST on my belt, an Ontario SP5-95 in my ruck and the Cold Steel Recon Tanto Carbon V on my LBV. That tanto will do just about anything you need it to.

Nice vid! Tnx for the info.

[@MNWoodland]

No problem!

[@jeffhanson2621]

Cool video. I just bought this knife. I love it but it did chip a sizeable piece of the blade coating off when I stabbed a piece of drywall. Which surprised me. But no damage to the blade itself.

Cool video awesome knife.

[@MNWoodland]

Appreciate it.

[@Hunac-Ceel]

I'm buying one right now ❤

[@gunman11]

Damn, was that ammo can new????

[@MNWoodland]

It was a junky Walmart made in china can and the latch was broken.

Definitely a cool knife, not a fan of SK5 steel, I wish Cold Steel made this one in AUS10A or even AUS8A. Just as another steel option.

[@MNWoodland]

They actually did make it is aus8 at one point, as well as carbon v. As far as I know right now they make them in sk5, 3v, and San mai.

[@rnkmode1876]

@MNWoodland I know, I'm just not fond of SK5 is all, I have the SRK in AUS8A, VG10 and the 3V is on it's way to me, I've always liked the look of the Recon Tanto though. I'll eventually get one.

@@rnkmode1876 The srk is on my buy soon list.

[@rnkmode1876]

@@MNWoodland go to Midway ASAP, I got my SRK in 3V for only $109, but I heard now it's only $100! Better check it out while the price is that low.

[@insertnamehere4341]

@@MNWoodland They still make the 3v one ? Thought it was discontinued
