Recon M1 MagnaCut Knife - Satin

The Cold Steel Recon M1 MagnaCut knife brings one of today’s most highly regarded blade steels to a substantial folding knife built for users who expect more from their everyday carry. Its 4-inch clip-point blade, secure G10 handle and proven Tri-Ad locking system give the Recon M1 the size and construction for demanding cutting work while maintaining the convenience of a folding design. At just 5.2 ounces, it delivers a solid, confidence-inspiring feel without becoming unnecessarily heavy in the pocket.

The Recon M1 represents a notable step for Cold Steel as one of the brand’s first folding knives to feature CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. Developed to offer an unusually strong balance of toughness, edge retention and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut has quickly earned a following among serious knife enthusiasts. Unlike steels that achieve extreme wear resistance at the expense of other properties, MagnaCut was engineered as a more balanced blade steel. That makes its appearance in a Cold Steel folder particularly appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate the rugged character of the brand but want the advantages of a modern premium steel.

Handcrafted in Italy, the Recon M1 features a 4-inch satin-finished MagnaCut clip-point blade measuring approximately 3.5 mm thick. The blade profile provides a versatile combination of cutting performance and precise tip control, while MagnaCut offers excellent corrosion resistance, toughness and long-lasting edge performance. Its fine microstructure also makes the steel comparatively manageable to sharpen for its level of performance.

The handle is constructed from textured G10 for a secure grip and dependable durability. Cold Steel’s patented Tri-Ad locking mechanism securely supports the blade in the open position, continuing a locking system that has become closely associated with the company’s heavy-duty folding knives. A tip-up pocket clip provides convenient carry, while the 9 3/8-inch overall length gives the Recon M1 the proportions of a serious full-size folder. For Cold Steel collectors, MagnaCut enthusiasts and users searching for a premium large EDC knife, the Recon M1 combines familiar Cold Steel toughness with a distinctly modern blade steel.
