 Great Knife March 6, 2008
This is an awesome knife. Cold steel made this thing to last. I've had it for 2 years now and even without sharpening it the blade is still sharp enough to cut anything. I even used it to cut wrapping paper this last Christmas. (I couldn't find the scissors). I've used it to open boxes, chop up food (meat, cheese, veggies, etc), it even makes short work of those annoying plastic packages that everything comes in. There isn't anything flimsy or low quality about it. It folds up nice and solid. I especially found the sharp tanto point useful. Unlike most knives the sharp corner bites into anything I'm trying to cut. This kife is a perfect 10. I can't find anything wrong with it.
A Serious Pocket Folder January 10, 2008
Coming from a CRKT M16-13T, I can tell you that the Cold Steel Recon 1 is simply on another level. The handle is big, well-formed, and unbelievably grippy against skin. The blade is strong, deep-bellied, double ground (as opposed to chisel-ground) and SHARP.
I still give the knife 5 stars, but there are a few things to watch out for:
The pocket clip is strong, so strong in fact that you're going to have to give the knife a yank to get it out of your pocket. And my jeans are already getting pretty upset.
The teflon coating won't look pretty for long. It scratches and stains. But knives like this are made to be used, not ogled.
The thumb stud works brilliantly with your thumb. But there's a notion around that this knife opens up immediately when the thumb stud hits your pocket liner. This hasn't been the case for me. But the knife opens easily and smoothly with either a simple thumb move or a hard flick of the wrist. And unlike lockbacks, it closes with one hand. Just watch your fingertips when you tip the blade back into the handle.
For the money, this is a serious, quality blade. I have total confidence in its durability, and the factory edge is outstanding.
 Decent Pocket Knife February 1, 2007

I have been carrying one of these for about 18 months now and find that it is a decent pocket knife. A mid-range knife (not cheap / expensive) that holds a good edge and is very easy to manipulate with one hand. The long handle is comfortable and gives you some additional control.
Pro: The locking mechanism is outstanding. Opening and closing is easy and very fast. Keeps a good edge.
Con: Teflon coating on the blade chips off. After 18 months of pocket carry and light cutting (i.e. opening boxes) most of the metal surfaces (blade, pocket clip, screw heads) show bare metal. Due to the long handle and position of the clip, about 1" of the handle extends above the edge of your pocket.
Shop around. I have seen this knife priced from $129 to $59 at different stores.
