Cold Steel Recon Folder Clip, 4" Broad Point, 9-3/8" Folding Camping Knife, Black

I was blown away by feel of the knife in my hand: there's a nice tactile feel to the G10 material and the deep relief cuts in the handle invite fingers to wrap naturally and tightly in exactly the right place. I have only a tiny collection of knives, but I'm skeptical I will find a handle that feels more inviting and secure to hold. Its sculpted handle and angular blade and overall darkness make it look menacing. I found it easy to open, but not with one hand. The act of releasing the locking mechanism to refold the knife requires a significant and surprising amount of force. This makes the lock mechanism very safe against accidental re-folding - a significant positive quality that deserves to be considered in choosing this knife. I really like it; but I was a little surprised by it. There may be certain young or old individuals who are challenged by its stiffness and will need help re-folding it. The steel alloy of this knife is S35VN, a vanadium alloy powder metallurgy steel with high hardness and great edge retention. This alloy not quite as corrosion resistant as magnacut, a close relative popular in high-end knives. The black coating on the blade, though, obviates the corrosion issue. The alloy is also more brittle (less tough) than some other high end knife alloy steels such as magnacut. The quality of toughness is somewhat more important for a survival knife that will be struck hard with other objects in normal course of work. Toughness will likely not be very important until the knife is dropped and lands tip-first on a rock or until it is used to hack away at something else that is pretty hard. I've not tested it in these scenarios, just giving my understanding as an engineer and a viewer of many YouTube videos on the subject. I tried shaving hair off my arm with this knife right out of the box. In this very informal test I found it to be of comparable sharpness to other good knives; but not literally "razor sharp."

Kommt sehr scharf, macht einen wirklich sehr robusten Eindruck, ist überraschenderweise sehr gut in den Hosentasche zu tragen mit dem Gürtelclip und kaum störend oder bemerkbar, dadurch dass auch nur ein kleiner Teil vom Griff raus steht fällt es kaum auf. Hält seinen Schnitt dank des S35VN Stahls echt gut. Es kommt auch mit einer sehr feinen und sehr spitzen Spitze, die ich durch Hebeln mit der Messerspitze abgebrochen hab (kleiner als ein mm) das Messer ist immer noch spitz!

Restituito perché chiusura difettosa.

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 Amazon. Beat all competitors when I got it. You can see price history and time a great purchase that’ll last years.

Da gibt es kein schlecht. Die Messer sind einfach schön und scharf so wie ich es mag. 👍👍👍👍
