Expensive, But Very Nice
Just got this knife today. I'm very impressed by the action. I had a Hogue OTF and sometimes it would just fail to deploy fully. Along with that, it was very difficult to push the slide. This Guardian Tactical is one of the easiest OTF's to deploy and the action is fast and solid. The blade is very sharp out of the box.
It's expensive, but it's a very nice knife to have in…

my collection. I highly recommend this knife to anyone who likes knives.
Great looking but...
first, i must say that blade HQ has been great to order from, and work with when there is a problem. they always do more than what you would expect. great company.
second, i felt compelled to write this review for this guardian tactical knife. the recon elite is a great looking knife, fires strongly and decisively, love the size; but the lockout on my knife is very loose (i'm…

more familiar with switchblades vs otf). third, a spring broke after 2 wks of deploying it upto a dozen times a day, it was never used besides that. sent it to guardian at my cost (adds to cost of an almost new knife, they said i would be reimbursed but haven't seen that $ yet). finally, i have the knife again, it works again, but i don't feel confident that it is reliable due to how much the blade moves in all 6 directions when in lockout position, and the spring breaking.
Very sweet
Awesome, seems top of the line but its brand new. Ill put another review if it holds its sweetness and toughness over time.
Commanding Presence
Just received the Guardian Tactical RECON-ELITE OTF Auto Knife Tanto (4.0 Two Tone Black Serr) Beautiful blade with smooth action. Disappointed with the rickety lockup on a $450 blade.
Bad Ass
Love it. Bad ass large OTF Very happy Quality is top Notch
Wow!!!!!!!
This is a big-a$$ knife! I was shocked when I opened the box it came in and saw the size of it! It's a beefy mofo! A true tactical blade for enthusiasts like myself! I definitely recommend this one!
SWEET
Nice EDC. Very smooth action. Beats my Microtech hands down. There is no comparison. This GUARDIAN TACTICAL RECON- ELITE is so good. This is my third buy. Dont waste money on cheap OTFs. Buy one of these. Very satisfying purchase. You will be happy. I hope this helps Jef C.
SMOOTH
Last week I bought the 040. (Read my review). I liked it so much. I wanted to buy another. Well this one is it. The best all around OTF for me. Your mileage may vary. Hope this helps. Jef C.
AWSOME!
Love this knife , this is my first Guardian Tactical and it wont be my last. Most of my Other OTF,s are Microtechs, this Recon Elite is my new favorite. The action is flawless!
Superior Action
This was my first Guardian Technical knife purchase. I am a big Microtech fan, (and always will be) and was looking at other options. A friend told me about the GT - OT Fronts crisp action, so I checked them out at BladeHQ. I ended up with a large precision knife that sounds like racking a shotgun. The action is the best I have operated. The Recon-Elite is quite large and impressive,… read more maybe too large for an everyday carry, but a first-class OTF.
