Recon Tanto 35AM, VG-10 San Mai

The Cold Steel Recon Tanto in SAN MAI continues to set the standard for combat knives worldwide. With over 20 years of active military use in numerous conflicts, it has gained a reputation as the go-to fixed blade for special military units and SWAT teams. Known for its exceptional quality and razor-sharp edge, the Recon Tanto is a knife that has earned the trust of professionals in the field. Also available in SK-5, it offers unrivaled performance and reliability when you need it most.

No company knows the Tanto like Cold Steel. We invented and popularized this iconic knife style in the early 1980s, spending millions of dollars on advertising and live demonstrations to showcase the Tanto’s superior cutting, slashing, and piercing capabilities. With over 30 years of experience, Cold Steel remains the leader in Tanto production. Our knives feature a distinctive satin finish on the hollow-ground blade bevels and a contrasting line grain finish on the flats, highlighting our advanced grinding techniques and giving each blade a unique, striking appearance.

The Recon Tanto’s Kraton handle is ergonomically designed for a solid, non-slip grip, even under intense use, while its solid steel pommel is built to concentrate force in a small area, making it incredibly effective for disarming or incapacitating an attacker. The knife comes with a high-quality Secure-Ex™ sheath for reliable, long-lasting carry.
