## Description

desertcart.co.jp: Cold Steel Recon 1 Series Tactical Folding Knife with 3 Advertising Lock and Pocket Clip, Premium CPM-S35VN Steel, Tantoprene Edge : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Ich hatte zuvor ein EDC Messer der 100€+ Klasse mit Axis-Lock System, bei dem nach einem Monat Nutzung beide Federn gebrochen sind, was das Messer nutzlos machte. Entsprechend wählerisch war ich bezüglich der Klingenarretierung für einen Nachfolger, wobei Linerlock zuerst mein Favorit war. Das Tri-Ad Lock von Cold Steel arretiert solide und hat auch keine Kleinteile, die leicht brechen können. Die Klinge zu lösen geht tatsächlich schwergängig, aber ich bevorzuge dies gegenüber schwächeren Alternativen. Außerdem habe ich festgestellt, dass es sich bereits nach kurzer Zeit einspielt und sich das Lösen angenehmer gestaltet. Auch der verwendete Klingenstahl kommt meiner Wunschvorstellung sehr nahe, auch wenn mir der klassische 440c lieber gewesen wäre. Das Messer kam scharf out of the box und bestand den ersten Schnitttest am Versandumschlag mit Bravour. Alles in allem wirkt das Messer wertig, solide, gut verarbeitet und ist scharf. Das Tri-Ad Lock arretiert zuverlässig, stabil und macht nicht den Eindruck in naher Zukunft seinen Dienst zu versagen. Ich bin mit dem Kauf mehr als zufrieden.
Review: Cold Steel Recon 1 is absolutely a thick extremely sharp piece of CPM S35VN steel that's crazy sharp and this steel is not about to give up.. This is a absolute amazing knife for the money, probably one of if not the best and I say thay from many years of personal experience in hand to hand sellf defense. With the S35VN steel which is truly amazing blade steel and one of the most absolute smoothest functioning non assisted folders fresh out of the box is something that's tough to beat. This is my EDC folder or even going out into the woods for a hike this is the blade will do you right. Remember this is not full tang knife but with the Triad Lock system it's as close as you're going to get to actually being a fixed blade with a full tang, it's that good. I have Cold Steel Recon 1's S35VN tantos and Cold Steel Recon M1 Clip point in Magnacut hand made in Italy which is a dream of a EDC knive. Anyone of those knives are as good as it gets and far better knives for the money than most anything else out there. Certainly nothing better, maybe as good but that's very debatable to say the least. If you need a EDC that's a extremely excellent self defense tactical blade you are going to be tough to come close to this in longevity/dependability and awesome blade steal with a unbeatable locking system. Then you ad the price and you just can't compare. Own a 300 dollar knife for a fraction of that price and have a better knife in the end by far..... No matter the price of the knife you can't beat the real world use with a Cold Steel!

Assim que chegou eu não gostei da empunhadura muito longa, que fica sobrando até em quem tem mãos grandes, as placas G10 não chegam aos pés de muitos produtos mais refinados que encontramos nos EUA e Europa, e uma coisa que me fez odiá-lo logo de cara, a ponto de quase devolvê-lo... Vamos lá... Assim que chegou se notava como algo bruto, sem nenhum refinamento, abertura áspera e a trava Tri-Ad Lock era uma decepção, pois era dura de uma forma que se tornava inviável abri-lo sem machucar os dedos, além da dureza desta tornar o fechamento muito inseguro, já que esta barra tensionadora também é responsável pelo impulso à lâmina para que esta seja levada até sua posição inercial. Tanto abrindo como fechando parecia uma guilhotina com uma força desnecessária, e seguramente, qualquer mínima falta de atenção poderia ocasionar um acidente. Decidi desmontar tudo utilizando chaves T6 e T10 (Torx) e pude notar que as arandelas de latão e também as de teflon estavam secas, sem nenhum óleo (esse modelo usa duas sobrepostas de cada lado da lâmina). A barra de metal que tensiona a trava Tri-Ad Lock estava com uma curvatura muito mais acentuada que o necessário para o bom funcionamento do conjunto, tornando a abertura completamente dura e também deixando a abertura e fechamento perigosos como relatado acima. Despois de suavizar as curvaturas da barra tensionadora e lubrificar tudo o cenário mudou completamente, aí sim pude começar a perceber os detalhes de algo realmente admirável. Mesmo o G10 sendo bruto, se entende por ser um modelo mais direcionado ao uso táctico. A lâmina possui uma espessura bem razoável e o desenho de desbaste é no mínimo muito bem feito e bonito. Não possui um revestimento que se possa chamar de resistente como se vê em modelos Spyderco ou até na pequena faca espanhola fabricada pela Cudeman que exponho na foto, e que possui um simples acabamento oxidado (o mesmo utilizado em muitas armas de fogo) e pode ser refeito facilmente pelo usuário. O desbaste da lâmina é plano, mas algumas vezes me pergunto se é algo côncavo. Não veio muito afiada de fábrica, mas não isso não será um problema. O aço norte-americano CPM S35VN da Crucible dispensa comentários, é um aço classificado como premium (não ultra premium como o Maxamet, Magnacut, Elmax, CPM S110V, M390 dentre outros), mas possui uma excelente retenção de fio, embora isso seja um ônus na hora de afiar, mas nada que um kit de afiação Lansky ou até afiadores diamantados não resolvam. A tenacidade também é excelente, assim como a resistência à corrosão, além de possuir uma dureza razoável que fica entre 60 e 61HRC utilizando 0,50% de nióbio em sua composição. Logicamente seria muito interessante que a Cold Steel atualizasse este modelo para o aço CPM S45VN, que possui melhorias se comparado ao primeiro, pois utiliza 0,15% de nitrogênio para esta melhora. Bem... Mesmo sendo quase uma faca de bolso, devido a seu tamanho, eu o tenho utilizado no dia a dia e só deixo de levá-lo quando o bolso é pequeno, circunstancia onde dou preferencia ao modelo P105 da Ruike, que só pra comentar, é um excelente canivete. Este Ruike é uma verdadeira obra de arte, sem falar no sistema de rolamentos que faz que a abertura seja extremamente rápida e suave. Com certeza um dos melhores canivetes em custo benefício, deixando coisas como o RAT1 e 2 em AUS-8 para trás.
