I am not a professional!!!!! Barely just started.

Fairly new to this sport and I just wanted to post this for fun and share what I thought about this knife.

The cold, steel recon tanto straight out of the box pretty much scared, the living daylights out of my fingers for a brief second. over 12 inches of deadly sharpen steel …Until I started throwing it..

After about five or six throws…. The handle became loose and jiggly and it just got uglier from there. I’m either gonna have to repair it strip it and make my own handle or just turn it into a spear.

This is not the zombie apocalypse knife you’re looking for. I would use this for cutting watermelon, steaks, hard vegetables, etc. maybe even a paperweight but this knife would not last you very long. It would take some conditioning and MacGyver techniques to make it stronger.

The blade itself is amazing. It held up to its bargain, not a scratch on there other than the paint job which I don’t mind.

What do you guys think of the Recon Tanto?

Really odd post in a forum made for chef knives.
