Guardian Tactical Recon-035 Stonewashed Elmax Serrated Double Edge Desert Tan OTF Automatic 97532

The Recon-035 is a modern and innovative, double action, out the front automatic that is perfect for everyday carry. With patented steel thumb slide base and floating blade construction, the Recon-035 is smooth and reliable in its operation while having minimal play and a rock solid feel. This version comes with a partially serrated, stonewashed, double edge Elmax blade and Desert Tan handle.

Brand new, direct from Guardian Tactical USA.

Blade: The dagger blade sports a dual hollow grind with razor sharp partially serrated cutting edges. A center fuller adds visual appeal, while the stonewashed finish hides wear from use. The blade operates on an innovative and patented floating mechanism that prevents undue wear on the blade as well as delivering a smooth, drag-free operation. Push the slide, which rides smoothly on bearings and a non-magnetic stainless steel plate, and the blade deploys and retracts with a decisive action.

Handle: Tan hard anodized, aircraft grade aluminum houses the blade and mechanism with subtle finger contours and strategic milling on the sides for a solid, secure grip. Stainless Torx hardware and a lanyard hole complete the construction.

Carries via a right hand, tip down only pocket clip.

Bohler Elmax: Bohler Elmax is a popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Elmax has similar performance to the American CPM-S30V/S35VN, falling between the two in terms of edge retention and toughness, with S35VN level corrosion resistance and similar sharpening response.
