Item was never carried and has never been used to cut anything: Both blade and serrated edge are very sharp.This is a Cold Steel Recon 1 (#27LTH), Tanto Point, Half Serrated Blade with Ultra Lock™, as was featured on Spike's TV show "Deadliest Warrior: Navy SEALs vs. Israeli Commandos " episode. Season 2, Ep 13 aired 7/27/10. /wiki/Recon-1_Knife f or the short-range weapons ssection, the KA-BAR was tested against the Recon 1 in cutting up a gel torso. Mike, wielding the KA-BAR, ripped apart the gel torso with a stabbing speed of 29fps (severing the windpipe, the spinal cord, and every major blood vessel in the neck, starting with an initial kill shot to an artery) while Rob, wielding the Recon 1, decapitated, amputated, and disemboweled the gel torso with a stabbing speed of 32fps. Both men's stabbing speed was determined to be slightly less than the punching speed of the average Olympic boxer. The panel was indecisive as to which knife was better and considered both weapons to be equally effective, resulting in a draw.This knife is now a collectible and is SUPER RARE. Sold out everywhere and discontinued from Cold Steel. This is the 2009 and prior edition, not the 2010 model, which has different locking mechanism and handle. Proven military grade knife. This knife has devastating power and will cut through almost anything! The locking mechanism is incredibly strong. Purchase this model while you can.It utilizes a very strong lock which is released by the button on the side and has steel liners to prevent the blade from twisting out of the handle under stress.It opens by means of a washer on the back of the blade which allows the operator to open the knife with one thumb. It has no springs or actuators built into the design and so is not classified as an automatic knife. The heavy tanto point is designed to be able to pierce light metal, such as oil cans or canned food without bending or breaking. The saw-tooth edge is often used for engineering purposes.RECON 1® Cold Steel® is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry and our Recon 1 tactical folders are setting a standard that's hard to beat. Why? Because they are as tough as nails and will cut like a chain saw! Every facet of their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong, durable and effective as humanly possible. The blades are made out of AUS 8A stainless steel that's been vacuum heat treated and subzero quenched, and the handles feature thick G-10 Zytel laminate scales, massively reinforced by heat treated steel liners and five locking bolts. To complement their super tough blades and handles, they each feature our revolutionary Ultra Lock (patent pending), which practically precludes lock failure. To complement their tactical mission, we have given each blade a tough black Teflon finish. Our testing has shown this coating or finish offers three major advantages for use on tactical blades. The first is; it is highly resistant to scratches and abrasions while keeping rust at bay. The second is; it eliminates glare and light reflections which may give its user away. The third is; it's a superior lubricant, which causes the blade to slip through even tough material with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non-Teflon coated blade.To make the Recon 1 as easy to carry as possible, each knife has a small, extra strong pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous.ULTRA LOCK® WE BELIEVE THIS REVOLUTIONARY LOCKING MECHANISM IS AS "FOOL PROOF" AS IT GETS AND REPRESENTS A BIG ADVANCEMENT IN SAFETY. THE WAY THE LOCK WORKS: AS THE KNIFE IS OPENED THE BLADE ROTATES IN A SEMI CIRCULAR MANNER AROUND THE LOCKING PIN VIA A CUT CHANNEL IN THE BLADE TANG. THEN JUST PRIOR TO REACHING THE FULLY OPENED POSITION THE SPRING LOADED LOCKING PIN MOVES FORWARD THROUGH THE ONCOMING STRAIGHT PORTION OF THE TANG CHANNEL UNTIL IT "DEAD ENDS". AT THIS POINT THE BLADE IS RIGIDLY LOCKED OPEN AND CAN'T BUDGE EVEN A FRACTION OF AN INCH AS T... read more
