In reality, it solves 99% of EDC problems. From cutting food to opening packages. Always at hand. The best knife. Note - it has lens-shaped descents. Cuts like a razor. But the steel does not stay sharp for too long. However, it's easy to fix on a whetstone in a few minutes. For me, the best knife. The paint on the inscriptions is smudged.

The Recon 1 has been a longstanding product and stands out as one of the toughest tactical knives offered by Cold Steel. The Micro Version represents the most compact model within this lineup.
A folding EDC knife (Every Day Carry) equipped with a spear-point profile blade crafted from German 4034SS steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance. The blade features a stonewashed finish for a matte look that prevents unwanted reflections. Deployment is smooth, thanks to the ambidextrous thumb stud, while a robust Tri-Ad Lock holds the blade securely open. A black Zy-Ex composite handle delivers a secure, non-slip grip. For optimal everyday portability, a spring clip is included.
German 4034SS steel
Forged from German stainless steel 4034SS, the blade delivers excellent strength along with superior corrosion resistance. Following appropriate heat treatment, the blade reaches a hardness of 54-57 HRC, ensuring a robust, long-lasting edge that remains simple to sharpen.
spear-point blade with stonewash finish
Equipped with a Spear-Point profile, the blade measures 50 mm in length and 5.5 mm in thickness. A smooth cutting edge is paired with a high hollow grind for optimal performance. The blade receives its distinctive matte finish through the Stonewash method, enhancing both its visual appeal and resistance to scratches.
non-slip handle made from Griv-Ex composite
The handle scales utilize rugged Griv-Ex composite, delivering a dependable, non-slip grip with its textured finish. A well-defined finger choil ensures precise handling, maintaining superior control even in wet or dirty conditions. Along the spine of the handle, jimping enhances thumb traction, optimizing blade control while making cuts. An opening at the handle's end accommodates attachment of a safety line or lanyard.
Tri-Ad Lock, double-sided thumb stud
When opened, the blade is firmly locked in place by the Tri-Ad Lock system, an enhanced version of the traditional Back Lock, renowned for delivering exceptional strength and reliability among folding knives. A double-sided thumb stud is integrated into the blade, providing rapid, one-handed deployment.

4034SS
4034SS - an alternative designation for Krupp 4034 steel, also known as X46Cr13 or 1.4034, is a German martensitic stainless steel developed by ThyssenKrupp. The carbon content of 0.46% ensures moderate hardness, while chromium (13%) guarantees high resistance to corrosion and oxidation. The steel also has good hardenability and structural stability thanks to the addition of manganese (approx. 1%) and silicon (approx. 1%). After hardening, the steel achieves a hardness of 54-57 HRC, which ensures a durable but easy-to-resharpen edge. Thanks to its combination of corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and good elasticity, 4034SS is a popular choice for the production of everyday carry (EDC) knives, hunting and kitchen knives, and tools.
Tri-Ad Lock
Tri-Ad Lock is a lock developed by Cold Steel and Andrew Demko, considered one of the strongest systems in folding knives. Its key element is a stop pin, which takes the pressure from the blade and distributes it to the handle, protecting the lock from wear and overload. The mechanism is designed to self-adjust over time, which maintains the reliability of the lock even after prolonged use. In tests, it has proven resistant to loads of up to hundreds of pounds, confirming its durability.
Stonewash
Stonewash is a blade finishing technique that involves treating steel in a drum filled with stones, ceramic abrasives, or beads. The impact of the material creates a characteristic, irregular pattern with micro-scratches, giving the effect of a matte, slightly “aged” surface with a raw, practical appearance. The finish gives the knife an aesthetic look and masks minor scratches and marks that occur during use, keeping the blade looking like new for longer. The matte texture reduces light reflections, which is valued in tactical and outdoor knives, and the micro-scratches can further reduce friction during cutting. Due to its durability, discreet appearance, and ease of maintenance, stonewash is popular in EDC, field, and tactical knives.
Griv-Ex
Griv-Ex is a durable glass-nylon composite reinforced with fiberglass used by Cold Steel, mainly for the production of knife handles, and in some models also for blade components. The material has a textured surface on the handles, which ensures a secure, non-slip grip, and its maintenance usually boils down to simple washing under running water. Griv-Ex is distinguished by its resistance to moisture, corrosion, mechanical damage, and extreme temperatures, and does not warp or crack under harsh conditions. When used in the construction of blades, it is additionally stabilized by UV rays and heat, which further increases its durability.

Small, pocket knife... I recommend it.
-
I wanted to have a blade at hand, but something I wouldn't feel in my pocket. An "emergency" solution. This knife is spot on. Quality - cold steel - I can't complain. I recommend it if you're looking for something small and good quality.
-
Just like others wrote, a keychain. In reality, it is smaller than it looks in the pictures. Additionally, I got a dull piece. The product is not worth the price.
-
Compact and useful knife. It ended up in my duty pouch as a spare work knife. Thanks to its size, it doesn't get in the way and is always at hand. The lock is great as in all CS knives. The cutting edge is very sharp.
-
Another blade from Cold Steel and certainly not the last one :) Despite its small size, it's very handy and the sharpness is just right.
