What we ended up with is the list of outstanding tactical folding knives listed below.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started with our list of the best tactical folding knives below.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MTech_USA_Ballistic_MT-A845_Series_Spring_Assist_Folding_Knife\"><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hq7LPO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> MTech USA Ballistic MT-A845 Series Spring Assist Folding Knife<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are looking for a spring-assisted folding knife that comes with a seatbelt cutter on a budget, then this offering from MTech might be just the knife you are looking for. Five inches closed, and holding a 3.75 inch blade, the scales are black aluminum, typical of knives like this.<\/p>\n<p>A glass-breaker is bolted onto the back of the handle, and it deploys easily with a thumb stud. Comes with a metal pocket clip and the handle is a cut-out design. Both the scales and the blade feature holes bored through them for various purposes. The blade spring is heavy duty and functions well, but the locking mechanism isn&#8217;t the sturdiest setup in the world. It seems to work fine, but it would be prudent to keep your fingers clear when stabbing or point-carving hard surfaces. Overall, for a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hq7LPO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gas-station price range<\/a>, it&#8217;s hard to find a knife of this quality anywhere.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kershaw_Ken_Onion_Blur_Folding_Knife_with_Speed_Safe\"><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hqf7CM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kershaw Ken Onion Blur Folding Knife with Speed Safe<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This tactical knife from Kershaw is designed by Ken Onion. The blade is 14C28N, and the handle is crafted from aircraft aluminum, scaled with Trac-Tec inserts. The blade measures 3.4 inches long, and the overall closed length is 4.5 inches. It doesn&#8217;t come with any fancy extras like a seatbelt cutter or glass breaking mechanism, but it also won&#8217;t constantly stab you in the leg when you pocket carry.<\/p>\n<p>A lanyard hole adorns the end of the handle. Made in the USA, the knife weighs in at 3.9 ounces and has an overall length of 7.9 inches when open.<\/p>\n<p>The liner lock is one of my favorite types, clicking into place behind the tang very securely. The blade has a slight curve on most models, but you have the option of partial serration, and even a tanto-style offering. Great quality from Kershaw for<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hqf7CM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> less than 50 bucks<\/a>, a great knife for the field or the street, and a trusted name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kershaw_1990_Brawler_Speedsafe_Tactical_Folding_Knife\"><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2idYzPF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Kershaw 1990 Brawler Speedsafe Tactical Folding Knife<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This knife is a less expensive offering from Kershaw for everyday carry. The clip is short but deep, perfect for pocket carry but won&#8217;t work as well on a belt. The blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV steel and coated in black oxide. Three inch blade, 7.1 inches overall, and 4.1 inches closed. Easy opening with thumb-stud assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Features a liner lock and extended tang for opening assistance. The clip can be adjusted for left or right-handed carry, and the opening mechanism is spring-assisted. It&#8217;s a whole lot of knife <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2idYzPF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for the money<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boker_Subcom_F_Tactical_Folding_Knife\"><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hqcZe8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Boker Subcom F Tactical Folding Knife<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes you want to go small, and nobody does small folders quite like Boker. Open overall length of 4.5 inches, with a stubby 1.875 inch blade length. When closed, this knife is slightly larger than a Zippo, making it a great carry choice for living in the city, but it&#8217;s far from being a pen knife. The scales are a fiberglass reinforced nylon material.<\/p>\n<p>The blade is partially serrated, crafted from AUS-8 steel, so it will hold up well for years to come. The over-sized reversible pocket clip can double as a money clip, and the shape of the closed knife shouldn&#8217;t draw much attention when used as such. Small, light, and discrete. Oh and <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hqcZe8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it&#8217;s also pretty affordable<\/a> too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Best Tactical Folding Knives A good tactical folding knife can be worth its weight in gold in the right situation.
