I always wondered why so much hype about the Recon 1. I then purchased the Recon 1 Spear Point S35VN Desert Warrior Edition. It's the best damn knife I've owned in my whole 55 years on Earth. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother👍⚔️✝️🇺🇲
That is a beautiful knife, look good new and then used! When I get the budget I hope they are still available and I was looking at the spear point as well. When crunching all factors and numbers it is the best damned knife I agree. Thank you for the compliment on the video and comment my blades brother. I wanted to share the appreciation 🍻⚔👍
@@greatnorthwest667 Thank you. Also, I got confirmation through BladeHQ.com and Cold Steel that the coating on the blade is PVD instead of DLC. That's good for me cause I am going to strip the coating off the blade and lock bar when it starts to wear off👍⚔️
@@mistersmith3986 excellent, their bare blades have that nice matte stone wash finish. That will look good, but I'd enjoy that coat as long as possible. It is cool👍👍
I cut my self bad with a liner lock folder fail, the standard at that time. Cold steel back lock restored my faith in folders, and now the SR1 lite, Recon and AD10 are my favorite knifes (so far) sharp, No fail, strong, intimidating and most of all “affordable “. Looking forward for cold steel new stuff hopping the new owner love them knife like we do.
Very true and I feel the same way. Can't beat a folder and especially when you know it won't fail. I hope the ownership will just allow for freedom to continue to innovate, without quality decline. We'll see I suppose. I dont see the recon 1 or sr1 going anywhere, for the time being anyway. I hope not.
On my experience you do not need a different clip, just get a flat screw driver and adjust the clip by slightly prying open the clip. That method has worked for me on all my cold steel knives. Also i broke the tip of my xhp tanto which make me think twice about getting the same xhp tanto again. Thanks for the video.
Thank you, and hopefully the broken tanto wasn't too deep. No worries on the xhp though, I think Cold Steel exclusively works with s35vn on that model now. Their s35vn appears to me to be pretty bombproof. 👍
Two completely different knives from Cold Steel. SR1 is a novelty blade that functions as a sharpened prybar, The Recon 1 is a stellar all around Knife that's good at everything. I love both. Lol Thanks for posting
Just picked up the clip point and have to say really like the clip point style not many videos do they show this blade shape i think out of the three it is the best style and looking blade and i know peaple like the tanto but by far the this is my favorite blade shape
I carry 2 folding knives with me everyday. The cold steel sr1 in case I need to do any heavy duty work, and I carry the cold steel ranch boss 2 for just everyday cutting tasks. The sr1 is a fantastic knife in my opinion!
Great knives! Ask Santa for a KME precision angle sharpener. You can play with different angles and achieve a much better bite on that SR1. You could even convex it if you want to keep a strong long lasting edge. 🧐👍🏻
You've probably already cleaned it, but spray some WD-40 on that pitch and let it soak for awhile. Wipe it off with a paper towel. Might take a little elbow grease, but it'll come off.
I might of actually done that. I can't remember now or maybe it just wore off. I put it down for the summer and now just picked it back up for field time! Wd40 works on everything👍. I've used it on saw blades along with kerosene.

Recon 1 s35vn spear point is the best folder I've ever owned as well. It's tops.
Excellent review. I have both these knives also. Both are over built, heavy duty and made to last a lifetime.
Agreed!
Two solid blades no matter which you prefer...can’t go wrong with either one.
Wholeheartedly agree👍

Heck yeah, and thank you for commenting! True on both knives. Unique both ways.
Just picked up the clip point and have to say really like the clip point style not many videos do they show this blade shape i think out of the three it is the best style and looking blade and i know peaple like the tanto but by far the this is my favorite blade shape
Love that knife. And I think it was made to have the clip point first, tanto second. Great field knife. Excellent choice👍
I have a sr1 lite as my first Cold Steel. Big ol beefy blade
I now have 4 CS knives. My recon 1 has quickly become my favorite. I’m slowly but surely becoming a cold steel fanboy. Lol 🍻
Not the flashiest but never let's down in performance. Definitely a fan myself🍻
I carry 2 folding knives with me everyday. The cold steel sr1 in case I need to do any heavy duty work, and I carry the cold steel ranch boss 2 for just everyday cutting tasks. The sr1 is a fantastic knife in my opinion!
Totally agree and that is a great combination of knives in my opinion. I try to carry something similar myself!
I’ve got the Tanto and it’s made most of my other knives redundant most of the time. I’m going to get the spear point as well.
Ive got the recon 1 already and now that im seeing these 2 knives side by side i dont really feel like getting the sr1 anymore
I think the Recon 1 is the one cold steel knife that covers all the bases.
Great knives!

🧐👍🏻
I've been looking into something like that system. Much more efficient to achieve what I was after!
You've probably already cleaned it, but spray some WD-40 on that pitch and let it soak for awhile. Wipe it off with a paper towel. Might take a little elbow grease, but it'll come off.

Nice video. Liked, and commented.
The Recon 1 is exactly like the Code4 except it is made of different materials. Great design, great knives!
Very cool. Peace, Stiletto :-)
Thanks man, peace👍
Put a lanyard on that thing and it will come right out of the pocket. That is what I did with my Recon 1.
RECON 1 IS THE BEST TACTITCAL ANN EDC !!!!
An exceptional knife indeed!!
nice
i love my sr1
WD-40 will easily get that off your blade.
Pointless video
Dull comment
