Cold Steel 39LRST Recon Scout, Black Kraton Handle, Black Blade, Plain Review

I labored over a month as to which survival / tactical knife to get. I examined many knives. Having experience with many different types of steel and knives I decided to settle on the Cold Steel Recon Scout because I found out I did not have to drop 200-300 bills to get excellent performance. I really tried to steer away from Cold Steel because they are now made overseas and I HATE that. Cold Steel used to be American Made but like much of our manufacturing, they have outsourced to China and Taiwan.

Excellent design and balance

SK-5 (1080 eqiv.) High Carbon Steel. Cold Steel uses this to replace Carbon V with SK-5 that can't be obtained for the time being. SK-5 has turned out to be really tough stuff that sharpens well, holds an edge, not the best but very, very good.

This knife is 5/16" thick - great for battoning work and hammering

Sheath is VERY well made with excellent retention.

Handle: 5 star rating, excellent for shock, cold weather, wet grip and durability.

I could go on and on but check it out yourself. Excellent working reviews on Youtube. Look for icychap's and nutnfancy's video reviews on this knife. This would be my goto knife in a bug out survival situation. I keep a 3 day assault BOB (bug out bag) with me at all times and a much larger one at home and I am thinking about getting another one of these for the smaller pack.

Except for China made you can't go wrong if you are looking for an excellent survival / camp / tactical type knife.

2012 Update: I have used this knife for a solid year and a half. This knife is a real winner. I liked this knife so much I bought another and sent it to my son while he was in Iraq. I have also bought the Cold Steel SRK AUS-8 or VG-1 with the latter being the best steel. Both are sure winners. The SRK feels more natural in my hand than any so far. I have these knives attached inverted to US MOLLE II Load Carrying Vests that go right along with my bug out bags. The sheaths are excellent at retention and you will also be able to wrap a good bit of 550 paracord around the sheath if you like. For sheaths that don't fit just right, you can use a heat gun to modify it.

I also purchased a Kabar Bull Dozier just to try one out. It's made from AUS-8 steel and easy to sharpen and put a shave edge on it. AUS-8 holds an edge fairly well too. Just buy one of those Smith Diamond sharpeners with fine and medium sides and you can sharpen anything. There are a couple of variations of the knife out now - The BK7 & BK2 made from 1097 Cro-Van steel which is a good general purpose steel. So far I like the Bull Dozier.

For the intended purposes I have to give all three of these 4-5 star ratings. But if I could only have one of the three it would be the Recon Scout. That knife will dismember an attacker and chop your wood to cook him on...if you have to...
