SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Guardian Tactical Recon-035 is a fast, battle-ready out-the-front automatic built for those who demand precision and reliability. Proudly made in the USA, this knife features a tanto blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut, one of the most advanced stainless tool steels available. With exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, this blade is designed to take on the toughest tasks. The black tactical finish enhances durability and minimizes glare, making it ideal for field use and discreet carry.
Guardian Tactical’s patented OTF mechanism ensures ultra-smooth double-action deployment. Unlike standard OTF knives, the Recon-035’s thumb slide is separated from the aluminum handle by a plate and three ceramic balls, eliminating grinding and wear. This innovative design, combined with a unique locking mechanism positioned off the blade channel, prevents friction and drag, ensuring effortless, reliable action every time. Whether deploying or retracting, the action is crisp, controlled, and built to last.
The handle is precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with an anodized olive drab green finish, offering both lightweight strength and a secure grip. Ergonomically contoured, it provides superior handling and control for extended use. The tip-up pocket clip allows ambidextrous carry, ensuring quick access in high-pressure situations. Whether for tactical applications, professional use, or everyday carry, the Recon-035 is engineered for peak performance.
With rock-solid construction, high-end materials, and American craftsmanship, the Guardian Tactical Recon-035 stands as one of the finest OTF knives available. Built for those who refuse to compromise, it delivers speed, precision, and lasting reliability.
