Description:
"In almost every respect, the Recon Scout is simply a 71/2"" Trail Master® Bowie (see pages 2 and 3) . It offers the same steel, heat treatment, blade thickness, and blade shape. Only the satin polish has been changed, in favor of a rich, baked-on black epoxy finish. This helps to control rust, minimize light reflection under combat conditions and deliver years of rugged service.
Unlike other combat knives, the Recon Scout's broad clip point is highly resistant to bending or breaking. This is primarily due to the fact that the tip is actually thicker near the point than other knives. However, this doesn't mean it's dull, on the contrary, the point is needle sharp. It's ideal for long range cutting and slashing. Additionally, the blade is equipped with a slightly concave false edge that measures approximately 31/2"" long.
The Recon Scout's blade is flat ground for shearing power and the edge has a slight curve along its entire length. This curve allows the blade to be used in a draw cut as well as a chopping stroke. Plus the extra curve near the tip provides plenty of ""belly"" for emergency field dressing and skinning. The blade is honed by hand and then given a high speed buff until it is truly razor sharp and capable of shaving hair with the slightest touch.
The Recon Scout's Kraton handle is 5"" long and deeply checkered for a nonslip grip. What's more, it features a contoured cross section which helps prevent the knife from shifting or turning in the hand." |
