Cold Steel Recon M1 Folding Knife Black G-10 Handle Satin Magnacut Tanto Blade CS-27TMT

The Cold Steel Recon M1 Folding Knife is built for users who demand strength, reliability, and modern materials in a hard‑use folding platform. Long respected in tactical and professional circles, the Recon series has earned its reputation by delivering serious cutting power and dependable lockup, and this MagnaCut‑equipped version raises the bar even higher. It’s a knife designed to perform without compromise, whether it’s carried on duty, used in demanding outdoor conditions, or trusted as a primary everyday carry.

At the core of the Recon M1 is a 4-inch tanto blade crafted from MagnaCut steel, one of the most advanced blade steels available today. Known for its exceptional balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, MagnaCut offers real‑world performance advantages without the maintenance headaches of older high‑end steels. The satin finish adds a clean, professional look while reducing glare, and the tanto profile delivers reinforced tip strength and excellent piercing capability. With a blade thickness of 3.5mm, the Recon M1 is built to handle stress, pressure, and repeated use with confidence.

The handle measures 5 3/8 inches and is constructed from textured black G‑10, providing a secure grip in dry, wet, or gloved conditions. The ergonomic shape fills the hand naturally, offering control and comfort during extended use. G‑10 is lightweight yet extremely durable, making it an ideal material for a knife that’s expected to see real action. At 9 3/8 inches overall and weighing 5.5 ounces, the Recon M1 feels solid without being cumbersome, striking a balance between strength and carry comfort.

Lockup is handled by Cold Steel’s renowned Tri‑Ad Lock, widely regarded as one of the strongest and safest folding knife locks available. Designed to absorb shock and reduce stress on internal components, it delivers consistent, confidence‑inspiring performance under load. This locking system has made the Recon series a favorite among professionals who can’t afford equipment failure.

Designed and built by Cold Steel, the Recon M1 Folding Knife reflects decades of refinement and real‑world feedback. It’s a tool meant to be trusted, not babied, and it carries the unmistakable feel of a knife engineered for serious users who expect their gear to keep up.
