Tactical folding knives are designed for extreme conditions, as well as self-defense, military operations, survival and rescue operations. They are distinguished by a robust design, a quick one-handed opening system, glass breakers, clips for wearing on equipment and sometimes - partially serrated sharpening.
Among the most famous manufacturers of tactical folding knives are Cold Steel (Recon 1, SR1, Code 4), Zero Tolerance (ZT 0308, 0350, 0562), Extrema Ratio (BD2, BD4), SOG (Spec Elite, Trident AT, Vision XR), as well as CRKT, Gerber and Kershaw.
Tactical folding knives are made of the most durable and wear-resistant materials, so they can withstand heavy loads. Most manufacturers equip such models with handles made of non-slip materials, providing a tenacious grip with a hand in a glove or without. Typically these are G10, Micarta, Kraton and FRN.
