Guardian Tactical Recon Elite Plain Edge Tanto Two-Tone Elmax Black D/A OTF Automatic 103221

The U.S. PROTECTIVE SERVICE/Guardian Tactical collaboration Recon Elite is a modern and innovative, double action, out the front automatic that is built for special operations. With patented steel thumb slide base and floating blade construction, the beefy Recon Elite is smooth and reliable in its operation while having minimal play and a rock solid feel. This version comes with a plain edge two-tone Elmax stainless steel Tanto blade and black handle with all black hardware.

Brand new, direct from the U.S. PROTECTIVE SERVICE.

Blade: The piercing Tanto blade sports a compound grind with razor sharp, plain cutting edges. The saber ground primary edge offers durability balanced with good slicing, while the hollow ground forward edge is optimal for piercing and fine work. Black fullers on the flats have cutouts that add visual appeal. Satin flats contrast with the durable, non-reflective and corrosion resistant black KG Gun Kote for a classy two-tone look. The blade operates on an innovative and patented floating mechanism that prevents undue wear on the blade as well as delivering a smooth, drag-free operation. Push the top slide, which rides smoothly on bearings and a non-magnetic stainless steel plate, and the blade deploys and retracts with a decisive action. The front of the blade is marked “Fate loves the fearless” along with the blade steel.

Handle: Black hard anodized, aircraft grade aluminum houses the blade and mechanism with subtle finger contours and strategic milling on the sides for a solid, secure grip. The front features a weathered American Flag, while the back sports the US Protective Service badge. The construction is completed with black Torx hardware, lanyard hole and steel glass breaker pommel insert. Includes patch, sticker and microfiber bag.

Carries via a reversible, tip down GT pocket clip with Serial Number.

Bohler Elmax: Bohler Elmax is a popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Elmax has similar performance to the American CPM-S30V/S35VN, falling between the two in terms of edge retention and toughness with S35VN level corrosion resistance and similar sharpening response.
