THIS HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS IS ONE OF OUR MOST HIGHLY GUARDED TRADE SE-CRETS. IT WAS ARRIVED AT OVER SEVERAL YEARS BY USING AN EXHAUSTIVE SERIES OF PRACTICAL AND METALLURGICAL TESTS AND OBSERVATIONS.AUS STAINLESS STEELSTHE WORDS STAINLESS STEEL ARE MISLEADING, BECAUSE, IN FACT, ALL STEEL WILL STAIN OR SHOW DISCOLORATION IF LEFT IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS FORASUFFICIENTTIME.STEELISMADESTAIN-LESS BY ADDING CHROMIUM AND REDUCING ITS CARBON CONTENT DURING THE SMELTING PRO-CESS.THERE IS A SERIOUS PERFORMANCE TRADE-OFFWITHSTAINLESSSTEEL.ASTHECHROMIUM INCREASESANDTHECARBONDECREASES,THE STEEL BECOMES MORE STAINLESS.BUT, IT ALSO BECOMES MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO SHARPEN, AND THE EDGE-HOLDING POTENTIAL IS SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED.THIS IS USUALLY WHY MOST STAINLESS KNIVESARERARELYRAZOR-SHARPANDQUICKLY LOSE WHAT LITTLE EDGE THEY HAVE.

The first is to apply so much force to the blade that the locking pin shears off or breaks through the solid steel blade tang.The second is to manually retract the locking pin far enough that it escapes the straight partofthechannel.Oncethisisdone,thecurve portion of the channel can engage it and once again rotate around it as the blade is closed.RECON 1 COLD STEEL IS FAMOUS FOR RAISING THE BAR IN THE KNIFE INDUSTRY AND OUR RECON1 TACTICALFOLDERSARESETTINGASTANDARDTHATSHARDTOBEAT.WHY?BECAUSE THEY ARE AS TOUGH AS NAILS AND WILL CUT LIKE A CHAIN SAW! EVERY FACET OF THEIR CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN OVER ENGINEERED TO MAKE THEM AS STRONG, DURABLE AND EFFECTIVE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.THE BLADES ARE MADE OUT OF AUS 8A STAIN-LESS STEEL THATS BEEN VACUUM HEAT TREATED AND SUB ZERO QUENCHED, AND THE HANDLES FEATURE G-10 LAMINATE SCALES, MASSIVELY REINFORCED BY HEAT TREATED STEEL LINERS AND FIVE LOCKING BOLTS.TO COMPLIMENT THEIR SUPER TOUGH BLADES AND HANDLES, THEY EACH FEATURE OUR REVOLUTIONARY ULTRALOCK(PATENTPENDING),WHICHPRACTICALLYPRECLUDES LOCK FAILURE.TO COMPLIMENT THEIR TACTICAL MISSION WE HAVE GIVEN EACH BLADE A TOUGH BLACK TEFLON FINISH.OUR TESTING HAS SHOWN THIS COATING OR FINISH OFFERS THREE MAJOR ADVANTAGES FOR USE ON TACTICAL BLADES. THE FIRST IS; IT IS HIGHLY RESISTANT TO SCRATCHES AND ABRASIONS WHILE KEEPING RUST AT BAY.THE SECOND IS; IT ELIMINATES GLARE AND LIGHT REFLECTIONS WHICH MAY GIVE ITS USER AWAY.THE THIRD IS; ITS A SUPERIOR LUBRICANT, WHICH CAUSES THE BLADE TO SLIP THROUGH EVEN TOUGH MATERIAL WITH MARKEDLY LESS FRICTION. THIS MEANS YOU CAN CUT DEEPER AND FAR LONGER THAN WITH A NON-TEFLON COATED BLADE.TO MAKE THE RECON 1 AS EASY TO CARRY AS POSSIBLE, WE HAVE EQUIPPED EACH KNIFE WITH A SMALL, EXTRA STRONG POCKET CLIP.THIS CLIP IS COMPLETELY AMBIDEXTROUS SO LEFTIES TAKE NOTE.WHATS MORE, ITS DIMINUTIVE SIZE DOESNT ABRADE AND IRRITATE THE PALM UNDER PROTRACTED USE LIKE A LARGER CLIP WOULD.SPECIFICATIONS:#27LC#27LCH#27LT #27LTH#27LSH Recon 1Clip Pt.Clip Pt.Tanto Pt.Tanto Pt.Spear Pt.Tactical FoldersPlain 50/50Plain50/5050/50Blade:4"4"4"4"4"Handle:5 1/3"5 1/3"5 1/3"5 1/3"5 1/3"Overall:9 1/3"9 1/3"9 1/3"9 1/3"9 1/3" Thickness: 3.5mm3.5mm3.5mm3.5mm3.5mmWeight:5.6oz.5.5oz.5.6oz.5.5oz.5.7oz.AUS 8A Stainless Steel.G-10 handles.Black stainless steel pocket clip.THE RECON 1 HOLDS 200 LBS.THE RECON 1 LOCK IS STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF A 160 POUND MAN!SPECIFICATIONS:ScimitarBlade : 4"Overall:9"Thickness: 3.5mmWeight:4.3oz.AUS 8A Stainless SteelBlack Version Only: Teflon coated blade with blackened fittings.THE SCIMITARHOLDING 100 LBS.SCIMITAROUR CRAFTSMEN HAVE CAPTURED THE TIMELESS QUALITY OF SUPERIOR CUTLERY AND UNITED IT WITH THE FINEST IN MODERN MATERIALS.THE RESULT IS A DAZZLING, HIGH IMPACT, LEAF-SPRING FOLDER LIKE NO OTHER AVAILABLE.THESCIMITARBLADEISHOLLOWGROUNDFROMSUPERTOUGHAUS8ASTAINLESSSTEEL HONEDTORAZORSHARPNESS.PAINSTAKINGLYDESIGNEDTOFACILITATETHEDRAWCUT,THE MOST EFFECTIVE CUTTING STROKE KNOWN TO MAN, THE BLADE ALSO FEATURES A NEEDLE SHARP POINT WHICH PIERCES AT THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH.SUPERIORENGINEERINGCOMBINESTRADITIONALAPPEALWITHTHELATESTWESTERNTECH-NOLOGY IN THE CONTOUREDZYTEL AND STEEL FRAME.

OUR VOYAGER SERIES REPRESENTS THE DEFINITIVE GENERATION OF THESE ULTRA-LIGHT KNIVES, A LINE OF FOLDERS THAT ARE SURE TO BE THE STANDARD BY WHICH OTHERS ARE JUDGED FOR YEARS TO COME!THE VOYAGER FOLDERS ARE MADE FROM THE SAME PREMIUM AUS 8A STAINLESS STEEL THAT GOES INTO OUR FAMOUS TANTOS. OUNCE FOR OUNCE, THEY ARE FAR STRONGER THAN 99% OF OUR COMPETITORS FOLDERS. THEY FEATURE PRECISION MILLED AND HAND FITTED PARTS WITH EXTRA STIFF SPRINGS, PROVIDING A LOCK THAT IS SUPER RELIABLE, YET REQUIRES LITTLE MAINTENANCE AND IS EASY TO KEEP CLEAN. THE BLADES ARE EXTREMELY WIDE AND GROUND THIN AT THE EDGE FOR TREMENDOUS SHEARING POTENTIAL. THIS THIN EDGE ALLOWS US TO HONE THE BLADE TO ASTOUND-ING SHARPNESS. PLUS, THE CUTTING SURFACE IS CONTINUOUSLY CURVED ALONG ITS ENTIRE LENGTH FOR THE MOST EFFICIENT POSSIBLE SLICING ACTION. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH CARBON CONTENT IN THE STAINLESS STEEL, YOULL FIND THAT THE SHARPNESS REALLY LASTS A SURPRISINGLY LONG TIME. IF YOU LIKE SERRATIONS, YOULL REALLY APPRECIATE OUR EXCLUSIVE PATTERN. IT OFFERS THE AGGRESSIVE RIPPING ACTION OF SERRATED TEETH, BUT WITH A TWIST. OUR DESIGN FEATURES GROUPS OF VERY SMALL TEETH SEPARATED BY WIDE, SHALLOW ARCS.
