Cold Steel - Recon Scout Bowie Knife - Black Tuff-Ex 52100 & Kray-Ex - 39LRSS - knife
Recon Scout in 52100 steel – Essential reliability for the toughest outdoor conditions
The Cold Steel Recon Scout in 52100 steel is a field knife designed to tackle the toughest challenges in hostile environments. With its impressive high-carbon steel blade, treated to ensure excellent impact resistance and cutting ability, this model stands out for its robustness, reliability, and power.
The Kray-Ex handle ensures a firm grip even in the most extreme conditions, while the hidden tang construction and through guard offer maximum control and safety in every use. Designed for intensive outdoor, survival, and tactical use, the Recon Scout combines generous dimensions and effective balance, making it an extremely versatile tool that is ready for anything.
52100 steel, known for its use in high-strength bearings, offers an excellent balance between hardness and ease of sharpening, as well as great toughness, making it ideal for heavy-duty use. Although it does not achieve the same levels of edge retention and corrosion resistance as CPM 3V, 52100 stands out for its reliable mechanical performance, greater ease of maintenance in the field, and an “old school” feel that is highly appreciated by carbon steel purists.

A brief history of the brand
Kanetsune is a brand of Kitasho Co., Ltd., based in Seki, a Japanese city historically known as the “City of Cutlery.” The company officially dates back to 1964, with family roots in knife manufacturing and trade going back to the 1930s. The name Kanetsune is traditionally associated with a renowned master bladesmith of the Muromachi period, underlining its strong connection to Japanese forging heritage.
Use and maintenance advice
The Blue Steel Damascus blade requires care: after use, it is recommended to wash by hand, dry immediately, and apply a light protective oil layer during storage or use in humid environments. Avoid dishwashers and prolonged contact with water or aggressive substances. The samegawa provides a natural, secure grip, enhancing handle stability even with wet hands.
Why choose this knife
The Kanetsune Shinobi KB-209 is not just a knife, but an object with a strong identity: 15-layer Damascus Blue Steel for a distinctive cutting edge, a traditional handle with samegawa and cord for control and authenticity, and a Japanese-style wooden sheath for elegant presentation. An ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking a fixed blade with true Japanese character, beyond common Western designs.KB209 -

Note:-Characteristics of San Mai Maple: These are different types of metals combined to create a composition that contains and intensifies the resistance of the metals individually:
- Mayor vida útil del filo
Thanks to the use of very high quality maples with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the core of the plate (Core Steel), the heat, once templada, has a hardness and a Decidedly superior court performance. which were achieved with the use of traditional maple trees.- Mayor resilience
Built according to the principle of Japanese swords, the multi-headed maple is difficult to break thanks to the hardness of the central maple (Core Steel) and the elasticity of the maple used for the lateral covering (Stainless Steel).- Better resistance to corrosion
The maple used for the external caps (Stainless Maple) guarantees the house a high resistance to corrosion. The combination of the two or more materials used by Takefu Steel generates, at the galvanic level, a structure that improves resistance to corrosion, including in the steel.- Easy processing including after heat treatment
Although the maple is normally hardened after the tempering, the lateral maple used in the multi-head process does not become softer and allows for easy mechanicalization, cutting or soldering even after the heat treatment. For optimal health performance, cryogenic treatment is recommended.- Improved aesthetic result
The cuchillos made with multi-layered maple or with damask pattern are aesthetically elegant, refined and much appreciated by collectors around the world at the end of the manufacturing process.For more information: collinsteel
