Cold Steel Recon Scout: A Wilderness Standard
This video review focuses on the Cold Steel Recon Scout knife, highlighting its performance and suitability for wilderness tasks like shelter building and firecraft. The reviewer praises its full flat ground blade for wood splitting and chopping, recoil-absorbing Kraton handle, and waterproof sheath. Downsides mentioned include the potential for rust with Carbon V and SK-5 steels and a possible stress point at the hilt. The video compares the Recon Scout to other wilderness blades like the Ontario SP5/SP10, RAT7, and RTAK II, deeming the Recon Scout and Trailmaster as standards for wilderness blades. The reviewer rates the knife highly, despite noting some minor drawbacks and the video's initial production quality issues.
