Our Recon 1 tactical folders are sure to set a new standard that will be hard to beat, because they are as tough as nails and cut like a chain saw! Every facet of their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong, durable and effective as possible. The blades are made out of our proven AUS 8A stainless steel and the handles are thick Zytel®, massively reinforced by heat treated steel liners and five locking bolts. To compliment their super tough blades and handles, they each feature our revolutionary Ultra Lock™ (patent pending) which practically precludes lock failure.
To compliment their tactical mission we have given each blade a tough black Teflon® finish. Our testing has shown this coating or finish offers three major advantages for use on tactical blades. The first is; it is highly resistant to scratches and abrasions while keeping rust at bay. The second is; it eliminates glare and light reflections which may give its user away. The third is; it's a superior lubricant which causes the blade to slip through even tough material with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non Teflon® coated blade.
To make the Recon 1 as easy to carry as possible, we have equipped each knife with a small, extra strong pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous and its diminutive size doesn’t abrade and irritate the palm under protracted use like a larger clip would.
ULTRA LOCK® AS THE KNIFE IS OPENED, THE BLADE ROTATES AROUND THE LOCKING PIN VIA A LARGER CUT CHANNEL IN THE BLADE TANG. PRIOR TO REACHING THE FULLY OPENED POSITION, THE SPRING LOADED LOCKING PIN MOVES FORWARD THROUGH THE ONCOMING STRAIGHT PORTION OF THE TANG CHANNEL UNTIL IT “DEAD ENDS”. AT THIS POINT THE BLADE IS RIGIDLY LOCKED OPEN AND CAN’T BUDGE AS THE LOCKING PIN IS SURROUNDED BY SOLID STEEL WHICH PREVENTS ANY MOVEMENT OF THE BLADE. IN FACT, THIS LOCKUP IS SO STRONG IT CAN ONLY BE OVERCOME IN TWO MANNERS. THE FIRST IS TO APPLY SO MUCH FORCE TO THE BLADE THAT THE LOCKING PIN SHEARS OFF OR BREAKS THROUGH THE SOLID STEEL BLADE TANG. THE SECOND IS TO MANUALLY RETRACT THE LOCKING PIN FAR ENOUGH THAT IT ESCAPES THE STRAIGHT PART OF THE CHANNEL.
