Agree completely. I have four. They are excellent in so many ways, tough, slim, light, ergonomic, and strong. The S35V is surprisingly tough, but I really like the cutting edge on the XHP hollow grind blades. The clip point is my favorite also. I have a clip point in both XHP and Magnacut. Oh, and I really love the Recon XL also, for all the same reasons, though I guess it is out of production now.
Great video and nice collection. I'm new to the knife hobby, my first Recon 1 arrived today and I didn't know that it has such a history. Greetings from Germany. 👍
Great collection Brother. I carry a modified Recon-1 S35VN everyday. I basically sanded down the 2nd finger groove, and the black coating. Polished everything. Now (for me) it feels better in my hand, opens smooth as butter. What a incredible knife.
My favorite Recon 1 steel or any folder steel is CTS-XHP. My favorite Recon 1 shape is the Spear Point. I just ordered my second recon 1 a few days ago. S35VN Spear Point with OD Green scales. Thanx for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
great video and nice knife i love cold steel Recon 1 one of my favorite EDC knives ever, very high quality and great design, I have 4 Recon1 3 of them are Spear point which is my favorite and one is clip point!❤
Great video, I've been a CS fan from the 80's . Love my Recon 1's in XHP and s35v. Have the Clip point and Tanto. Regret selling my mini Recons. Tanto is my favorite blade style.
Hey Man. Nice collection you got there! The taiwanese axis lock one is definetly an interesting piece! I loved my clip poin xl, which I sadly sold. What an amazing knife in terms of ergos, weight and carryabilty. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Argentina!
I have a Black Xlip Point on the way and I don't know what took me so long to purchase one but its on the way and now I also want a Drop Point , because I have two Tanto Recon 1 in S30v and I would have to say it my favorite onlt equal to the Newer Bush Ranger, but the Recon 1 is a little less bulky in the pocket but the Bush Ranger is a 3.5 inch blade that is tough and aggressive in S35VN, a with very good G10 handle scale design that hard not to appreciate. My two favorite Cold Steel ,eay pocket carry knives. 😊
@@megaronknives3032 I wish they could give the option, like you can choose between plain or serrated. Make it a choice between hollow or saber. To me the steel is tough enough and I would really not worry about the hollow being weak.
Same here. But the New Recon 1 In OD Green scales seams to have either Mate or flat DLC. That's how it looks in the videos and Photos. I'll find out soon enough. I just ordered one a few days ago.
Every folding knife is like a man. It can be a combination of short, tall, weak, strong, fat and skinny. The Recon 1 is like a tall, strong and skinny man.
How is the action on yours so buttery smooth? And the lock so easy to operate? The action on mine is so stiff I have absolutely no chance of flicking it open, and I have to squeeze down on the lock like my life depends on it to close it.

The XL was out of production for a long time, but they are bringing it back this year.

I have all variants of blade styles and I think the half serrated tanto is the best for utility.

Just bought the Recon 1 clip point in S35VN. My first expensive to me pocket knife. Think I might pick up a tanto in the soon future.

I am a Large Rscon 1 Fan, too. And, like you, I absolutely luv the Large Talwar, also. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Good vid!!!! Thanks!!!
I miss the hollow grind. It seems these days most CS knives are saber. The Code4 is still hollow ground I believe though.
I think it might be saber ground already :(

@@danielsmit3524 yeah that would be great. It's not for stability reasons, it's just cheaper in production.
@@megaronknives3032 the clip point and tanto are hollow ground still. Not sure about the spear point.
I love Recon 1 Tanto
I can tell how good the knife is by the size of the band aids
I myself have 5x recon1. You should get the recon1XL
Yeah maybe i should. It would complete the collection.
@@megaronknives3032 and the micro. Then it would be completed
@@L.T.112 And all the balde shapes and colors of every generation.... than it would be completed XD
And the satin blade
The glossiness of their dlc blades is what keeps me from buying them.
i really don´t mind that anymore to be honest.

Yeah you could say it like, that. I always think it´s like a pickup Truck with a good amount of horse power in in.

@@wolfensus years of use 😌
@@megaronknives3032 Damn, I better get to it then😆
@@wolfensus takes a while to break in the knife and to break in the thumb haha
