The ABKT Tac Recon Ops Neck Knife – Black Oxide 8Cr13MoV Tanto (AB017)

It’s 4.5 inches of solid steel insurance that costs less than a gas-station energy drink, weighs next to nothing, and hangs off your neck like tactical jewelry for people who hate fragile desk trinkets.

The ABKT Tac Recon Ops (Model AB017) is a bare-bones, single-piece fixed blade engineered for quick-access backup, emergency package shredding, and neck-wear carry. Built out of a solid slab of black oxide-coated 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, it deletes complex moving parts, pocket drag, and price tag excuses from your EDC lineup.

The Sharp & Salty Details

• 2.0" Black Oxide Tanto Core: Forged from reliable 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with a stealthy, corrosion-resistant black oxide finish. Features an aggressive angular tanto profile built for sharp push-cuts, piercing, and box destruction.

• Indestructible One-Piece Construction: Sculpted from a single solid piece of steel—no handle scales to split, no pivot screws to back out, and zero mechanical failure points under load.

• Ultra-Compact 4.5" Footprint: Measuring just 4.5 inches (11.43cm) overall, it packs a usable working edge into a low-profile chassis designed for absolute concealment.

• Breakaway Neck Chain & Synthetic Sheath: Snaps tight into a black molded synthetic sheath paired with an 18-inch breakaway neck chain—keeping your blade ready for high-speed, one-handed retrieval.

The ABKT Tac Recon Ops pulls zero punches, deletes flimsy utility blades from your rotation, and upgrades your backup carry to absolute elite status. Stop overthinking your budget gear—lock in a five-dollar piece of solid steel and drop the Recon Ops straight into your daily setup.
