SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Guardian Tactical Recon-035 OTF Auto is a powerhouse of precision engineering, built for those who demand reliability, speed, and cutting-edge performance. This out-the-front automatic features a CPM MagnaCut stainless steel spear point blade with a black-coated finish, offering outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The spear point profile enhances piercing strength while maintaining a razor-sharp cutting edge for versatility in tactical and everyday applications.
The Recon-035’s black aircraft-grade aluminum handle is lightweight yet incredibly strong, providing a secure grip without unnecessary bulk. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable handling, while the tip-up pocket clip allows for ambidextrous carry, keeping the knife accessible when you need it most.
Guardian Tactical’s patented OTF mechanism sets this knife apart, delivering one of the fastest, smoothest double-action openings on the market. A precision-engineered thumb slide opener, separated from the handle by a plate and three ceramic balls, eliminates grinding and wear, ensuring long-lasting, fluid operation. Unlike traditional OTF designs, the locking mechanism is positioned off to the side of the blade channel, preventing unnecessary friction and extending the life of both the blade and button.
Proudly made in the USA, the Recon-035 represents the best in American craftsmanship and innovation. Whether for professional use, self-defense, or as a reliable everyday tool, this automatic knife delivers uncompromising performance in a battle-ready package.
