Cold Steel Mini Recon 1 Tanto Point Stonewashed AUS-10A Black GRN Tri-Ad Lock Folder 27BAT

A popular knife with Military and Law Enforcement Personnel, Fire and Rescue crews and civilians who appreciate a hardworking, dependable tool, the Recon Series from Cold Steel come razor sharp and built like a tank. Their construction has been engineered to make them as strong and durable as possible while being thin, light, and scalpel sharp. This Mini version comes with a 3-inch Tanto point blade of stonewashed AUS-10A and black GRN handle scales.

Brand new, direct from Cold Steel.

Blade: The Tanto point profile AUS-10A stainless steel blade comes with a rugged stonewashed finish and a high saber grind for balanced durability and performance. The Tanto has a powerful tip for piercing while being versatile for detail work and cutting on flat surfaces. An adjustable dual thumb stud makes the knife fully ambidextrous with smooth, solid deployment.

Handle: Injection molded glass-filled nylon scales cut cost while retaining performance. They are durable, lightweight and weather resistant and have a fine texture that pairs with the deep finger grooves for a secure grip. Scales house the blade and Tri-Ad back lock, delivering an unbelievably strong design in this slim, compact package. A hole is provided for lanyard attachment.

Carries via a stainless steel tip-up pocket clip. Includes two clips, right- or left-handed carry.

Japanese AUS-10 Stainless Steel: Similar to AISI 440C, AUS10 offers very good corrosion resistance, good edge retention and easy sharpening. AUS-10A indicates annealing of the steel after rolling, with no impact on finished blade performance.

Tri-Ad Lock: The Tri-Ad lock system functions like any back lock: pushing down on a spring in the rear of the handle releases the blade. It differs by adding a stop pin between the blade and back spring. This pin handles any pressure put on the knife and allows the spring to self adjust over time, resulting in a rock solid lock that can handle an absurd amount of weight in lock strength tests.
