SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Guardian Tactical Recon-035 is a powerhouse of precision and speed, designed for those who demand top-tier performance in an out-the-front automatic knife. Built in the USA, this knife features a 3.3-inch spear point blade crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut steel, giving it exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The dark stonewash finish reduces glare and hides wear, making it as practical as it is rugged.
Guardian Tactical’s patented OTF mechanism sets the Recon-035 apart from the competition. A specially designed thumb slide operates on a unique system of ceramic balls and a plate, preventing the grinding and wear typical of other OTF knives. This system, combined with an innovative locking mechanism positioned away from the blade channel, eliminates unnecessary friction, ensuring smooth, near-effortless deployment every time. The double-action system allows for fast one-handed opening and closing, making it a reliable tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
The handle is crafted from black aircraft-grade aluminum, giving it a lightweight yet robust feel that’s built to withstand hard use. The textured surface provides a secure grip, ensuring control even in demanding conditions. A tip-up pocket clip allows for ambidextrous carry, making the Recon-035 a versatile addition to any loadout. Whether for tactical applications, everyday carry, or collection purposes, this knife delivers the speed, precision, and durability Guardian Tactical is known for.
Proudly made in the USA, the Recon-035 represents the pinnacle of OTF design and engineering. Its cutting-edge mechanism and premium materials make it one of the best-performing automatic knives available today.
