Cold Steel 3 in. Mini Recon 1 Clip Point Folding Knife

My huge mistake. I was looking for a smaller blade length. didn't realize the handle would be equally small. barely fits in my hand. probably have to gift this to a kid...Oh well. don't get me wrong, i still like the quality of the blade.

I bought one of these, and, after using it for a week, immediately bought another one as back up. Couldn't go without it!

My recon was an essential part of my gear as a Police Officer. It has cut seatbelts, pried open the most unusual things and even cut off articles of clothing for medical emergencies. It was always up for any task. A trusted old friend! Alas, I broke the tip off trying to help a trucker remove a tail light. Broke my heart. Unfortunately it’s cheaper to replace than repair. But I will never get rid of it. I guess I am sentimental about certain things. I have his big brother, just as strong holds an edge but I miss my little recon. Get one you won’t regret it.

I've had this blade for 3 months now and the length has proven to be adequate for most tasks. It's fairly sharp out of the box, and has survived a few good drops. The weight is also very pleasant to the point where you forget you're even carrying it. I would highly recommend as an EDC.
