Cold Steel Recon Scout Modifications & Review

I'm a big blade fan now that I've used the Cold Steel Recon Scout. Before acquiring this knife I was convinced that my SOG SEAL Pup was capable of performing all necessary bushcraft tasks. Now that I've spent some time in the bush building shelters, processing firewood, etc., I know how having a blade capable of chopping can save much needed energy. I still love my SEAL Pup, but I'll be using it for day hikes and shorter trips.

What I didn't like about the Recon Scout was the hilt, or the guard. So, I removed the top portion and now I can choke up on the blade and place my thumb on the spine. I also increased the size of the finger groove as it was too small for my finger. That added to being able to choke up on the knife for finer work like carving. I also added a Ranger band (bicycle inner tube) to the handle for a better grip.

I added my regular survival kit to the sheath-550 paracord, fishing line and hooks, aluminum duct tape and a pouch containing a Gerber Clutch Multi-tool, steel striker, mini-hacksaw, carbide sharpener and snare wire.

I love it so far and I'll be adding a demonstration video soon. Thanks for watching and please leave comments and feedback.
