I am not new to cold steel or knives, this is actually my 4th recon 1. I got two with XHP and now two with seven. Both are good steels but prefer the older xhp models. One thing that was immediately noticeable was the G10. This newer one came with a smoother finish not like the older grippy ones, it will save your pant pockets but it won’t be as grippy on your hand. I don’t know why they made it so smooth. These better steel ones run from $80-$120 depending on the blade shape, edge style and where you get it. It is great large knife very well built and strong lock up. It is heavier construction built to last. It is one of my favorite cold steel knives for edc. It is designed for larger hands or while wearing gloves it has good ergonomics and really needed for its weight. I alternate between this style and spyde4co endura both great knives. This one is well suited for heavy use, it is not my preferred serrations but needed some. I know lots of people don’t like serrations and don’t care for sharpening them when in reality a plain edge needs way more maintenance. I wish they made a fully serrated model. Overall it is a great knife for the money I got 4 recons and would not hesitate to purchase another one.

When I discovered the Recon 1 series a couple years ago, I already knew from the pictures that this would be my “last knife”. Of course preferences, use case, hand/grip, etc. are very personal and can’t be generalized. But for me, this is the ultimate knife. Brilliant, simple design, perfect blade form, perfect handling, extremely sturdy. And great value for money – I have blades 3x as expensive that rust away in some drawer because the Recon is just BETTER.
I got one with half-serrated blade, CTS XHP steel, that is always in my pocket.
And now got the non-serrated version in S35VN steel (slightly easier to hone) as a backup.
I am a very happy man. (at least knife-wise…xD)
