SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cold Steel Recon XL is a folding knife built for those who demand maximum reach, uncompromising strength, and unwavering reliability in the field. Measuring an impressive 12.25 inches overall with a massive 5.5-inch clip point blade, this is not your average everyday carry—it’s a powerhouse designed to handle the toughest cutting challenges. The blade is crafted from premium CTS XHP stainless steel, a high-performance alloy known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and impact toughness. Finished with a stealthy black PVD coating, it not only reduces glare but also adds a layer of wear protection for hard-use environments.
Deployment is smooth and straightforward thanks to the ambidextrous thumb stud, allowing quick one-handed access when speed matters. Once open, the blade is securely locked in place by Cold Steel’s proven lockback mechanism, delivering rock-solid stability and the confidence to tackle heavy-duty cutting tasks without compromise.
The handle is built from rugged black G-10, offering an aggressive texture for a sure grip even in wet or gloved conditions. Ergonomically contoured for comfort during extended use, it provides the kind of control you need when managing a blade of this size. The Recon XL is designed for tip-up carry with its sturdy pocket clip, keeping it within easy reach and ready for action at a moment’s notice.
At 8 ounces, this knife balances substantial heft with practical portability, making it a formidable choice for tactical applications, wilderness survival, or anyone who simply prefers a full-sized folding blade. Every detail—from the precision grind of the clip point to the secure grip of the G-10—has been engineered to ensure peak performance in demanding situations. Order it today from SMKW!
