Top 10 LED Knives
for December 2023

The TAC Force Blue Police Assisted Open LED Tactical Rescue Pocket Knife is a basic, no-frills rescue knife, but it's hefty enough to get the job done and well-built enough that it should hold up well over time. It's made from stainless steel, which is a good choice, as it's relatively durable. The handle has a slight curve, which is pleasant to hold. The blade is 3.25-inches long, which is longer than most rescue knives, and it's made from tough 440 stainless steel. The blade is laser engraved with the words "Tac Force," and the knife is outfitted with a bright 3-LED light strip that's powered by two AA batteries. The LEDs are bright and fairly powerful, but they aren't as bright or as long-lasting as, say, the LED flashlight on the SureFire M6 Tactical Rescue Light. The LEDs are powered by two AA batteries, which last about 100 hours. The LEDs are bright enough to illuminate a dark room, but they're also bright enough to be used as a flashlight. The knife also has a sharp blade and a sharp saw. The TAC Force Blue Police Assisted Open LED Tactical Rescue Pocket Knife is a good choice for police, firefighters, and rescue workers, and it's also a good choice for everyone else.

The 9" Tactical Assisted Open Red Survival 7 in 1 Rescue Pocket Knife is a quality, affordable tool that's right at home in a truck, bug out bag, or emergency kit. It has enough tools to handle most outdoor needs, including a fire starter, bottle opener, 7 different blade styles, and a multi-tool for basic repair work. The 9" Tactical Assisted Open Red Survival 7 in 1 Rescue Pocket Knife is well-built and feels solid in the hand, and its contoured handle and smooth blade make all kinds of tasks easier. The blade is sharp, and it feels durable enough to use on tougher jobs. The 9" Tactical Assisted Open Red Survival 7 in 1 Rescue Pocket Knife's fire starter is efficient and produces plenty of sparks, and its bottle opener is sturdy, easy to use, and works well. The 9" Tactical Assisted Open Red Survival 7 in 1 Rescue Pocket Knife's blade and multi-tool are easy to use, and the blade has about 6 extra inches of reach. The 9" Tactical Assisted Open Red Survival 7 in 1 Rescue Pocket Knife has a flashlight, but it's small and dim, and it doesn't turn on and off automatically.

The BlizeTec Survival Knife is the most versatile knife we've ever tested. It has a saw, a seatbelt cutter, a magnesium fire starter, a window breaker, a light, a sheath, and a bunch of small, useful tools that make survival in the wilderness a lot simpler. It's compact enough to fit in a pocket (but certainly not a pants pocket; it hangs there, so it gets in the way), and the hilt is long enough to use for a seatbelt. The saw was easy to use, and the sharp blade was tough to get through the thickest of materials. The magnesium fire starter worked great, and the light was bright enough to illuminate even the darkest of woods. The blade lock is convenient, but we found that it made it difficult to cut through materials we liked, such as rope. The only complaint we had was that the nylon pouch was too small to hold the knife and some of the other tools, so we ended up just carrying them separately.

The TAC Force Red FIRE Fighter Spring Assisted Open LED Tactical Rescue Pocket Knife is an impressive knife, earning its spot as one of our top picks for rescue and survival knives. The TAC Force Red FIRE Fighter Spring Assisted Open LED Tactical Rescue Pocket Knife is powered by a reliable 440A stainless steel blade, which is spring assisted and opens smoothly, making it a good choice for a variety of tasks. The TAC Force Red FIRE Fighter Spring Assisted Open LED Tactical Rescue Pocket Knife also features a sturdy stainless steel handle with a textured surface for a secure grip. The TAC Force Red FIRE Fighter Spring Assisted Open LED Tactical Rescue Pocket Knife has a black partially serrated blade with a 4.75-inch closed length and a 3.75-inch-long, 2.8-millimeter thick blade. The TAC Force Red FIRE Fighter Spring Assisted Open LED Tactical Rescue Pocket Knife comes with a nylon carrying pouch for safekeeping.

The Maglite SP32TRK is a formidable little flashlight-and-knife combo. The 2.6-inch 420HC blade is sharp enough to shave with, and it's long enough that you can pry open boxes or open lockers. The flashlight is bright enough to spot an object from 30 feet away, and it has a long enough runtime (up to 100 hours) that you might get by without charging it for a week. The Maglite SP32TRK even has a bottle opener, so you can open a bottle of beer without hauling around a separate corkscrew. The flashlight and knife are both waterproof and shockproof, so they'll survive a fall or fall into water, and they're both droppable from 6.5 feet, so they're perfect for camping or hiking. The SP32TRK's control circuit uses lithium batteries, which are easy to find and relatively cheap to replace. The flashlight and knife are both made of anodized aluminum, and the flashlight's anodized black body has a rubber coating that makes it feel solid and lightweight. The only drawback is that the SP32TRK's on-off switch is on the knife, so you'll accidentally turn it on when holding the knife.
