The idea for Cold Steel's original Recon 1 is simple: put together a solid tanto blade in a workhorse steel, pair it with grippy Griv-Ex handles, and lock it all up with Cold Steel's super tough Tri-Ad lock and you've got one of the best and toughest tantos in the business. Now shrink it to keychain size and you've got today's trending knife, the Micro Recon 1. It's got all the best parts of its big brother, but sized for your pockets with a 2" blade and an overall length of 4.38". A generous cutout on the handles let you manage the smaller size, and an included keyring lets you hang it at the ready on your keychain. Check it out at the link below.
