This is America and there is nothing eccentric about that either. Runs a company that makes knives. His company makes tactical/combat knives which are often times carried by military and law enforcement. I find nothing eccentric or weird about this either. I can go on and on but I just don't see why Lynn Thompson is so "Controversial". Cold Steel makes great products and the Recon 1 is just one of many. The Recon 1 was also the knife that kicked off my knife collecting hobby. I love it. It's a tank and is better in terms of reliability and toughness than all the more expensive knives being sold.

This is my favorite knife as well. I have 14 of them, including one with the crossbar lock. The teflon washers are there so the knife would work even if it is totally dry and dusty, never oiled. I had one second hand, was never serviced, lots of gunk, and dust and still opened fine. I had another where the teflon washers were damaged and I removed them. It is not as smooth without them if it is dry (no oil)

The Tri-Ad lock was so bound up on itself the knife was VERY difficult to close, & I'm a pretty big guy, so there must be Spartan owners out there who can't actuate their locks AT ALL. Anyway, their customer service phone rep just created a case for me, had me send them the knife at my cost, & they sent me a brand new knife. What more could you ask from a company? After seeing what you have to say about this knife, I will definitely be picking one up. Thanks for the awesome vid!!

I agree with your comment about the Chris Reeve knives. First of all, a frame lock would fail long before a RECON-1 would. Second, am grateful for his part I getting S35VN Steel. But to pay the ridiculous price for his knives is for the rich. Not the everyday EDC carrier. I carry a Recon-1 EVERYDAY. It's the best work knife for me. In a SHTF world, a Cold Steel will save yer ass when your pocket candy (Reeves knife) won't. I do Not trust liner locks or frame locks when my precious fingers are on the line. Thanks Lynn for the Baaad ass knife. Hoping you do Recon-1 in MagnaCut in the near future.

@@gregorygolden1296 S35VN is awesome, I have a current Recon1 and it's my favorite so far. I paid $85 for it 3 years ago and it has seen a lot of use as it's my EDC. And CS does a good heat treatment on most of their blades. Though since GSM Outdoors took over QC is on the decline, so I made sure to buy a few extra Recon1's so I'll always have one as it's the best large folder I've ever found. AUS-10 is similar to but better than the AUS-8, it's the latest development in the AUS steel line. It's Cold Steel's current mid-range steel. It has a little higher toughness than AUS-8, holds an edge longer, and can be brought to a finer edge. It has similar carbon content to 440c, but also has vanadium in it which allows a sharper edge compared to 440-series steels. AUS-8 is closer to 440a. S35VN is truly a great well rounded steel, it has better edge retention and corrosion resistance, but it's 3x the cost to produce compared to AUS-10. And powdered steels are generally more brittle than simpler steels, which means they are more likely to chip/break with hard use. Simpler steels will roll edges and bend, which is easier to fix, and more advantageous if you are depending on a blade to help you survive. S35VN is superior to AUS-10 in terms of edge retention & wear resistance, and is more corrosion resistant. But AUS-10 is easier to sharpen, has higher toughness, and provides decent balanced performance at a much lower cost. Which is my reasoning, and you could probably get 2 of them for the same price. S35VN is a better EDC steel. MagnaCut would be much better. I'm not an expert, but am a very experienced knife user and aficionado. And I don't want to spend more than $200 on a pocket knife because I don't keep Safe Queens. If I can eventually find a MagnaCut Recon1 for a reasonable price I'll probably purchase one.
@MB-jg4tr5 ай бұрын
@@gregorygolden1296 My main reasoning for wanting an AUS-10 version is toughness & price, and I would give up a little edge retention for a blade I can use harder without breaking.

A Recon1 in MagnaCut would be amazing, but I don't want to pay more than $200 on a pocket knife because I don't keep safe queens, and I'd be hesitant to use it like I do my sub-100-dollar blades.

I carried the recon one drop point for two years and I couldn’t get to grips with it, the ex got me the foresight and I never looked back. All this coming from a huge cold steel fan. I suppose at the end of the day it’s personal preference.

Most EDC's have a 4" handle, but when you add that guard one barely gets a 4 finger grip. And as a hard use folder in a down cut its just not long enough. They should have made the handle 3/4" longer and named it the "Recon 1 Compact". The steel is better than S35VN ...and before you all jump on me, again, I am talkning 'philosophy of use', here are my supporting sources (8min in) you may consider: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5DGk6OpatF1mKM

Cold Steel Recon 1 is a beast, I love mine but the PM2 is a better EDC blade. Recon 1 is more of a self defense/bush craft knife.

Have u tried the SR1 and do U like the recon 1 better?
@dctruthblade63915 жыл бұрын
I don’t own the SR1, but a friend of mine does, so I have held it. The Sr1 is thicker in the blade stock and the recon 1 is much more ergonomic. I feel the recon1 is more usable. To me the sr1 just felt like a sharp pry-bar. As far as durability it’s 6 of one half a dozen of the other. The sr1 has a thicker tip. My preference is the recon1 hands down. I have no intention of owning the sr1.

Philoe Olivarria I’m not quite sure what you are saying. I’m assuming you are saying I don’t have the sr1 because I can’t afford it. If that is what you are truly saying, I’m going to have to tell you that is a completely ridiculous and illogical statement, backed by exactly zero brain cells. If I misunderstood your comment please accept my apology and feel free to explain. You do realize you were looking at 5 recon 1 Knives right? All owned and operated by yours truly? I’m confused 🤷♂️

Philoe Olivarria Ok. Sorry about that. I kind of figured I was misreading. You get some stupid comments online, so you never know. I’m a big ESEE fan as well. The 6 being my favorite fixed blade. I stripped it and blued it too. I did just get two Winkler knives though. I tried the belt knife. That thing is amazing. I haven’t used the field knife yet but really nice balanced knife. My BK9 is my if I could only have one knife, knife. Well, again sorry for misunderstanding.

No, it's not a bummer. Because the knife would be twice the price and the quality would be identical. I'd rather buy 2 for $200 than 1 for $200 just so it could say made in USA on it. Who gives a fuck? We live on planet Earth. Maybe it should just say, "Made by humans on Earth."

Who cares about your country. Im not american so I dont care where it is made as long as the quality is good
