Guardian Tactical Recon-035 Red Stonewashed Elmax Tanto OTF Automatic 94521-RED

The Recon-035 is a modern and innovative, double action, out the front automatic that is perfect for everyday carry. With patented steel thumb slide base and floating blade construction the Recon-035 is smooth and reliable in its operation while having minimal play and a rock solid feel. This version comes with a plain edge, stonewashed Elmax, Tanto blade and red anodized handle.

Brand new, direct from Guardian Tactical, USA.

Blade: The piercing Tanto blade sports a dual hollow grind with razor sharp, straight plain cutting edge. A center fuller adds visual appeal while the rugged, non-reflective Stonewashed finish hides wear from use. The blade operates on an innovative and patented floating mechanism that prevents undue wear on the blade as well as delivering a smooth, drag-free operation. Push the top slide, which rides smoothly on bearings and a non-magnetic stainless steel plate, and the blade deploys and retracts with a decisive action.

Handle: Red hard anodized, aircraft grade aluminum houses the blade and mechanism with subtle finger contours and strategic milling on the sides for a solid, secure grip. The construction is completed with Torx hardware and a hole is provided for lanyard attachment at the pommel end.

Carries via a right hand, tip down only pocket clip.

Bohler Elmax: Bohler Elmax is a popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its excellent edge retention. Elmax has similar performance to the American S30V with a slight improvement in corrosion resistance and toughness.
