I own the large, mini and micro version. I like the mini the most, really like it a lot, because of the size, combined with the toughness. Great knives!

[@MattRoseKnives]

They are fantastic for sure!

[@daveb3123]

My old 3inch xhp recon 1 is still one of my favorite pocket knives

[@MattRoseKnives]

Dude you have a unicorn right there! Those are very well sought after

[@palerider7171]

Glad to see you back! Great review. Let us know about the book!

[@MattRoseKnives]

Thanks friend!

I got this knife and I love it. Put myself serrations on it (half serrated) and it is a great Sport and Utility knife arround the house, at work and for bicycle tours. It’s thin, Not heavy and a little tank.

Carpenter quit providing XHP steel for knives, is what, if I remember correctly, Lynn Thompson said some years back. I had one of these versions. Very nice knives. I might have to get this newer Aus10 versions. Thanks for the review.

I’ve got the two micro recons sitting next to my chair to open Amazon packages with. Fun little knives. I need to get another Recon 1 because I modded my first one and gave it away. Looks like I need to order the mini too.

[@MattRoseKnives]

Get the complete set hah! I need to get the micro

[@toastedjoke]

They’re $40-42 in Feb 2024, just ordered all 3 blade styles lol

[@subarusensei3685]

I just ordered one of these in spear point for about 42 dollars. I owned a micro in aus 8 I lost it somewhere in my house and I loved that tiny knife

[@rebecca-jx8yu]

how is it

[@subarusensei3685]

@@rebecca-jx8yu good been carrying it and it's held up really good

[@Marcobuck]

I still hope, Cold Steel will make a Tuff Lite XL with a 3.5 inch blade in aus 10 en I think it Will be great

[@seNor916x4]

Just get the Spyderco Yojimbo 2, it’s a 3.5” warncliff blade that looks like a big Tuff lite.

[@mdubb4855]

What do you think of the grippier finish on the Counterpoint handle? It's also Griv Ex so it's feasible.

[@MattRoseKnives]

Hmm I like it! But I think I prefer this texture. Still plenty of grip, less of a pocket shredder though lol

[@oceanwater6887]

I got this knife and really enjoy how it looks and feels. It has a rather thick blade but luckily that is offset by its saber grind.

[@MattRoseKnives]

True. It is pretty stout for a smaller blade

[@2104dogface]

i just won a Recon 1 Tanto XL to go with my other Recon 1's large and mini and there are some nice items you can get to customize them swap out screws colors, Cog Rings , thumb studs ect....
