SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Guardian Tactical Recon-035 OTF Auto is built for those who demand precision, speed, and rock-solid reliability in a tactical knife. Designed for effortless, one-handed operation, this out-the-front automatic features a 3.3" spear point blade made from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. The two-tone finish adds a striking contrast, enhancing the blade’s sleek, aggressive profile. MagnaCut steel delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it ideal for both cutting tasks and piercing applications.
The black aircraft-grade aluminum handle provides a lightweight yet incredibly durable frame, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip in any situation. Its ergonomic contours allow for confident handling, while the tip-up pocket clip offers ambidextrous carry, keeping the knife accessible at all times.
Guardian Tactical’s patented OTF mechanism sets the Recon-035 apart, offering some of the fastest, smoothest double-action deployment on the market. The precision-engineered thumb slide opener is separated from the handle by a plate and three ceramic balls, eliminating grinding and wear for long-lasting reliability. Unlike traditional OTF designs, the locking mechanism is positioned off to the side of the blade channel, preventing unnecessary friction and allowing for seamless operation every time.
Proudly made in the USA, the Recon-035 is a prime example of American innovation and craftsmanship. Whether you're a professional who relies on a dependable blade or an enthusiast looking for a top-tier OTF automatic, this knife delivers uncompromising performance in a sleek, battle-ready package.
