SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Guardian Tactical Recon-035 is a high-performance out-the-front automatic knife built for speed, reliability, and precision. Proudly made in the USA, this OTF delivers one of the fastest and smoothest double-action deployments on the market, thanks to Guardian Tactical’s patented mechanism. Unlike traditional OTF designs, the Recon-035 features a thumb slide separated from the handle by a plate and three ceramic balls, eliminating grinding and reducing wear. A uniquely positioned locking mechanism keeps the blade channel free from friction, ensuring effortless deployment and retraction with every press of the switch.
The tanto blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, a cutting-edge stainless tool steel known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The two-tone finish gives the blade a striking look while maintaining a durable, low-maintenance surface that’s built to perform under pressure. Whether for piercing, slicing, or precision cutting, this blade is designed to handle demanding tasks with ease.
The handle is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in a rugged olive drab green anodization for lightweight durability and a secure grip. Its ergonomic design ensures comfort and control in any grip, making it a reliable tool for tactical, professional, and everyday use. A tip-up pocket clip allows ambidextrous carry, keeping the knife ready for quick deployment when it matters most.
Built for those who demand precision and toughness, the Guardian Tactical Recon-035 sets the standard for OTF knives. With advanced engineering, premium materials, and American craftsmanship, this knife is a powerhouse in any collection.
