Cold Steel 37RS Recon Scout - CPM-3V Blade - Checkered Kray-Ex Handle - Secure-Ex Sheath
Cold Steel's Recon Scout is simply a 7.5" Trail Master Bowie. It offers the same heat treatment, blade thickness, blade shape, and handle - but now with CPM-3V tool steel.
Unlike other combat knives, the Recon Scout's broad clip point is highly resistant to bending or breaking. It's ideal for long-range cutting and slashing. Additionally, the blade is equipped with a slightly concave false edge that measures approximately 3.5" long.
Like the Trail Master, the Recon Scout has a slight curve along the entire length of the blade. 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 Recon Scout comes complete with a tough Secure-Ex sheath.

More about CPM-3V steel
American CPM 3-V can take an extremely fine edge which is highly chip-resistant. In recent years, it has proved very popular with custom knife makers. Though costly, this modern tool steel is astonishingly tough and exceptionally wear resistant. It is a fine-grained powdered steel, with a very uniform microstructure giving it excellent impact resistance and fine edge holding performance, and making it perfectly suited for larger blades where extreme toughness is required.
