Review: Best knives bar none with the best steels and most dependable locks, the Triad lock system! - Cold Steel Recon 1 is absolutely a thick extremely sharp piece of CPM S35VN steel that's crazy sharp and this steel is not about to give up.. This is a absolute amazing knife for the money, probably one of if not the best and I say thay from many years of personal experience in hand to hand sellf defense. With the S35VN steel which is truly amazing blade steel and one of the most absolute smoothest functioning non assisted folders fresh out of the box is something that's tough to beat. This is my EDC folder or even going out into the woods for a hike this is the blade will do you right. Remember this is not full tang knife but with the Triad Lock system it's as close as you're going to get to actually being a fixed blade with a full tang, it's that good. I have Cold Steel Recon 1's S35VN tantos and Cold Steel Recon M1 Clip point in Magnacut hand made in Italy which is a dream of a EDC knive. Anyone of those knives are as good as it gets and far better knives for the money than most anything else out there. Certainly nothing better, maybe as good but that's very debatable to say the least. If you need a EDC that's a extremely excellent self defense tactical blade you are going to be tough to come close to this in longevity/dependability and awesome blade steal with a unbeatable locking system. Then you ad the price and you just can't compare. Own a 300 dollar knife for a fraction of that price and have a better knife in the end by far..... No matter the price of the knife you can't beat the real world use with a Cold Steel!
Review: Great price on desertcart for great traditional all purpose knife - Always like Cold Steel. Prices have risen too high, especially on fixed blades. Some tiny recent knives are sketchy. This is tough, old fashioned lock back. Thick grip. Sub hilt for forefinger to prevent slipping and cutting yourself. Great G-10 texture, full size. One of my favorite daily carry knives—from opening boxes to cutting clothes from someone injured to self defense in non-2A communist states where they can’t read the constitution. Great price on desertcart. Beat all competitors when I got it. You can see price history and time a great purchase that’ll last years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW!
*by Z***. on July 17, 2025*

I just received this knife today, so I can’t speak to its longevity or how well it holds an edge. But I can say this: this is the first knife that has wowed me right out of the box. I literally said the word “WOW!” when testing its sharpness just now. For the last 15 years, I’ve been using an Emerson Commander and a number of Spyderco knives. This is my first time trying something new outside of that realm. Compared to these other knives, it’s definitely a lot bulkier in the pocket — so if your pocket space is limited, be aware that the fit may not be optimal. The G-10 handle is very solid, and the grip is designed more ergonomically than any of my previous knives. My fingers feel well-protected and there’s not a chance this thing is coming out of my hands in a fight. It locks open *very* firmly — much more so than any knife I’ve used to date. It’s a bit hard to close, but I’ve been opening and closing it repeatedly and it does seem to be easing up, so I think it just needs a couple hundred closes to break it in. The same is probably true or the pocket clip, which feels a bit excessively tight. Not sure if I’ll be leaving it on or not. Aesthetically, this thing is both gorgeous and intimidating. Maybe not the best thing to pull out on a work site for utility use, but will definitely intimidate someone in a defense situation. Overall, this thing feels like a workhorse and I get the impression it’s worth double what I paid for it. I can see why it has a reputation as one of the best defensive folding knives for EDC.
