Cold Steel Mini Recon 1 Review: HD Meets Small EDC... Perfectly

Here's my video review of the escellent Cold Steel Mini Recon 1. This is a heavy duty, 3-inch bladed EDC folder, and extremely well-executed. Although a bit heavy for the lightweight EDC class, its overall strength puts it in a bit of a different class, a class I'd call "HD EDC," or Heavy Duty Everyday Carry. It's materials, size and construction might indicate it's in the same class as a Spyderco Delica or Ontario Rat 2, but in reality it's much more at home competing with more overbuilt short folders like the Benchmade MPR or Spyderco Techno -- and for a lot less money.
