High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Guardian Tactical Recon-035 is a top-tier out-the-front automatic knife built for precision, speed, and durability. Proudly made in the USA, this OTF features Guardian Tactical’s patented mechanism, delivering one of the smoothest and fastest double-action deployments on the market. Unlike standard OTF designs, the Recon-035’s thumb slide is separated from the handle by a plate and three ceramic balls, eliminating friction, reducing wear, and ensuring a consistently crisp action. A unique locking system sits outside the blade channel, preventing drag during deployment and retraction, making every opening effortless.
At the heart of this knife is a spear point blade made from CPM MagnaCut, a high-performance stainless tool steel known for its incredible edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Finished in a dark stonewash, the blade offers a rugged, battle-worn look while hiding everyday wear and tear. With a balanced design suited for piercing, slicing, and fine detail work, this blade is ready for anything.
The handle is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in an olive drab green anodization, providing a lightweight yet robust frame. Designed for comfort and control, the ergonomic shape ensures a secure grip in any situation. A tip-up pocket clip allows for ambidextrous carry, making this knife as versatile as it is powerful.
Built for those who demand uncompromising performance, the Guardian Tactical Recon-035 combines cutting-edge engineering, premium materials, and American craftsmanship. Whether for professional use or everyday carry, this OTF stands ready for action.
