The earlier model Recon 1 tanto was slightly different with a sliding ambidextrous button to unlock and lock the blade. One hand opening by pulling the button and flipping the handle toward the back. I carried it in my sap pocket from 1989 until 2015. It cut every imaginable thing keeps an edge and is the best knife ever for strength and sharp edge. The 1/2 serrated blade came in handy for cutting battery cables at car crashes to disable the power and make it safe for others to extract occupants safely.

I bought the Recon 1 Tanto 50/50 two months ago and I love it. I use it at work to cut straps and cord often. The grip feels great and fits my hand securely . It came razor sharp and holds an edge for a long time. The serrations work great on cordage. I have only had to touch it up with stropping. The serrations I just touched up with a Lansky Cold Steel serrations sharpener. The S35VN steel is a well balanced SS. It was a little stiff at first but is now now problem to flick open. It would also serve as a great self defense back up tool with the triad lock and blade shape. I highly recommend it.

Robust build, Flawless design, Scalpel sharp, Triad lock leaves NO doubt blade is “locked and ready to rock”. I was a Mariner for 22 years and have been a truck driver for 3 years. The uses and abuses onboard a ship are absolutely brutal on knives. I have NO doubt this knife would serve unfailingly. Just don’t let the Chief Mate borrow it and drop it over the side. I still use THIS knife daily as a Driver, it just isn’t subjected to the abuses nearly as much shoreside. I won’t lie, I DO carry a knife for protection. I was once robbed in Punta Arenas, Costa Rica and had my work knife for protection. They got my camera, but I was very likely spared a beating because I was armed. Did what Dad told me never to do…”DON’T take a knife to a gun fight.” Luckily all I lost was the camera. Four against One, Odds improved when I snapped out my blade, two ran off. Unfortunately, the two that stayed had a gun and a knife…I miss that camera.
