Modern style tanto perfect for tactical or survival tasks.
It feels sturdy, but not overly heavy nor is it clumsy to handle. I had one given to me many years ago and it has some sentimental value attached to it as it was given to me by my mother.
I wanted another one so I might keep the first one in more pristine condition. It's also a terrific tactical knife and so good for self-defense, yet the design has proven to be versatile enough to use in the field for camping and survival.
You can pack this with your tactical gear or martial arts weapons or use it as a survival/bushcraft/camping blade. And it can be an everyday use knife and being from Cold Steel it going to be very durable.Read full review

Great knife and sheath.
This is a great knife. It is well balanced, light, and sturdy. Love the Tanto type blade. The sheath works great with this knife.

Cold Steel Recon Tanto
The knife is a good quality implement for the money. Blade is easy to sharpen. Does not come as sharp as it should. Scabbard is reversible but webbing material could be much better.

Beautiful chopper.
For woodwork, jungle knife, any outdoor task . I like curved blade shape, convenient to slice, strong, chopping small limbs off trees, cleaning bark.
Thank you!

Love it
I have an older model and purchased a kydex sheath but it turns out the ricaso was different dimensions. So this newer model became available and it was a great price. Got it and really enjoy it. Really feel no difference in use. I’m a Tanto and Kukri guy. Read full review

Buy it or regret not buying it
I will use this cold steel tanto exactly for what it was designed for. It is an appropriately large knife to challenge today's world conditions. It will accompany me in all my adventures and be used as pry bar, a can opener, defense weapon, fire starting steel edge, and a general whacking instrument. It is cheap and useful and an essential tool. I don't believe in "gentlemen's knives".Read full review

Cold Steel Carbon 5 knives are the best ...
Cold Steel Carbon 5 knives are the best knives that you can get. Everything about them is Quality. I give these knives as weding gifts with a story about the forging of the steel representing the man and the forming of the handle representing the woman to creat a tool that will last a lifetime. Fantastic knives.Read full review
