Published: 4 years ago

I take you along for the journey of disassembly of an early 2000's Cold Steel Recon 1 folder, before the advent of the Tri-Ad lock. It uses a crossbar style lock like Benchmade, but had several "disadvantages" or flaws.
Specs:
3.8" AUS8A blade
6.4 oz / 180 g weight
G10 over solid steel liners
Ultra Lock (Crossbar lock)
