Recon 1 Tanto Half Serrated

The Recon 1 Tanto Half Serrated by Cold Steel is a purpose-built tactical folding knife designed for law enforcement, military personnel, and professional users who demand reliability under high-stress conditions. This knife combines the proven Tanto blade geometry with a hybrid edge configuration, making it effective for both slicing and piercing tasks in field operations.

The Tanto blade profile—characterized by its flat edge and angular point—excels at penetrating hardened materials and provides superior control during precision cuts compared to curved blade designs. The half-serrated edge combines the benefits of both blade types: the smooth portion handles general slicing and detail work, while the serrated section grips and tears through tougher materials like fabric, webbing, and rope.

Operators in tactical, emergency response, and outdoor fieldwork environments benefit most from the Recon 1 Tanto's compact yet capable design. The knife's lightweight profile (0.38 lbs) and manageable dimensions make it ideal for belt carry or pack storage, ensuring it is always within reach when needed.
