Cold Steel Recon XL Features The Cold Steel Recon XL is built around a 5.25 clip point blade forged from XHP steel a steel known for holding an edge through extended hard use while resisting corrosion in wet or humid environments. The clip point profile gives the blade a fine controllable tip well suited to detail cutting as well as heavier tasks. A durable black PVD finish coats the blade adding a protective layer against scratching and wear beyond what the bare steel alone would offer. A plain edge keeps the blade straightforward to maintain and resharpen in the field. The patented Tri-Ad locking mechanism locks the blade solidly in place once deployed combining a stop pin and locking cam for a lockup that resists stress and impact far better than a standard liner lock. Ergonomic G-10 handle scales wrap the frame giving a textured secure grip that holds up even when hands are wet or the knife is used in slippery conditions. At 12-1/4 overall and roughly 8 ounces the Recon XL carries a substantial confidence-inspiring presence without becoming unwieldy. Whether carried for everyday use outdoor adventure or professional duty this folder is built to handle any challenge it encounters.
