15 best folding knives from Aliexpress

When choosing a folding knife, you should pay attention not only to the convenience of the model, but also to the quality of the blade. Any blade needs to be sharpened sooner or later, and if it was made of low-quality steel, sharpening will have to be done constantly. Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine the quality of the knives presented on Aliexpress, so in our rating we will start from external characteristics, convenience, size, and descriptions of sellers.

Not all manufacturers indicate the grade and hardness of steel in the description, but you can clarify these parameters immediately before buying. Also important characteristics include dimensions, weight, the presence of a lock and an opening mechanism. We took into account all these data when compiling the top, so that the choice of the best model takes the minimum amount of time.

The best folding knives from Aliexpress: budget up to 1000 rubles

Within 1000 rubles on Aliexpress, you can order compact knives for hiking. There are also more solid models, which sellers call tactical, but their quality does not always meet expectations. When buying the cheapest products, you should especially carefully study the top and user reviews.

When choosing a folding knife, you should pay attention to the steel grade from which the blade is made. On the materials for the handle and the strength of the connection. But in the top there are models where these parameters simply do not make sense. One of them is in front of us. You can't guess the purpose of the product at first glance. Externally - a plastic key with a folding blade. The simplest and even primitive design, which is difficult to find application.Unless you can try to use the device for self-defense in the late evening.

The seller from Aliexpress describes this knife as a device for cutting paper, or rather opening letters. A very strange description, given the compact dimensions and the not very convenient blade removal system. However, this is an ordinary key ring, with a small blade made of an unknown steel. A toy that can be worn on a keychain and used in some situations, such as opening bottles or sharpening a pencil.

4 Doom Blade 57HRC

Folding knife can be tactical, tourist and even kitchen, but in this case it's two in one. In appearance, the product could easily become part of the ammunition of a military or policeman, but its full length when opened is only 150 millimeters, and when folded it is 65 mm. A miniature copy, but made very high quality. Let's start with the fact that there is a handle with wooden inserts, and this is not a cheap imitation, as is often the case with manufacturers from Aliexpress. Real wood varnished.

The hardness of the steel used on the blade is 57 units. A good result, the seller is silent about the brand, simply claiming that it is the best and most durable. There are no opportunities to check, and there are not enough reviews under the product to form a definite opinion. But the price and the quickness of the seller, mentioned in the comments, will please. Already not bad, especially considering the visual appeal of the knife.

3 ACCHAMP 31751

There are many compact folding knives on AliExpress. Some of them got into this top, but we managed to find the smallest option, the length of which in the open state is only 9 centimeters. In fact, this is a keychain, and there is even a special ring at the end of the handle. But the product description indicates the steel grade 5CR15 from which this tool is made, and it is worth noting that this is not the worst material for the production of blades.

Of course, such a knife will not be used often, so sharpening will probably last for many years. As for the functionality and application of this tool, here everyone has their own. It is unlikely to come in handy when hiking or fishing, although the mechanism is made in such a way that the blade can be reached with one hand, that is, for example, it is quite possible to cut off a piece of fishing line. In general, another semi-decorative tool from Aliexpress.

2 TUWO M390

Probably the first thing that caught your eye is the price. But do not rush to skip the review. This knife is really worth the money. Its main feature is high-quality Austrian steel. The product marking shows what grade of steel was used in the manufacture, and this is a real-life article that denotes metal with a high level of carbon content. Such a blade practically does not blunt and does not require sharpening. It does not rust even after prolonged contact with water and easily withstands shock. The knife is not afraid of any adversity and can be safely used for its intended purpose, without fear that the blade will break or fail.

According to the Aliexpress seller, such knives are part of the arsenal of Austrian rescuers. That is why the lot looks minimalistic and strict. There is nothing superfluous here, since it is not an ornament or just a beautiful attribute. In addition, the set comes with a sheath made of genuine leather with strict stitching. Unfortunately, there is no attachment to the belt and even a protective cover, that is, the scabbard itself is more of a decorative element than a necessary attribute.

1 LQCRWOC LM12

Folding knives are not only a camping tool. They are in service with all the armies of the world, as well as special services. Manufacturers often try to repeat such designs, as they have carefully thought out ergonomics and functionality. We have just such a knife. Of course, he is not in service with the army, but only copies the real arsenal of the military. However, all the advantages of a real tactical tool are present here.

The first thing that catches your eye is the appearance. The knife looks stern and brutal. Black blade, complex body with many details and the presence of a folding mechanism that allows you to open the knife with one hand. The manufacturer also indicates that the blade is made of high-alloy steel (3Cr13 with a hardness of 57 HRC), that is, sharpening will be required extremely rarely. What will definitely please the buyer is the price. Less than 500 rubles for an interesting and outwardly attractive model of an army tactical knife.

The best folding knives from Aliexpress: budget from 1000 rubles

If we talk about the middle price segment, here are the most popular folding knives from Aliexpress.Each of them deserved a place in the top due to the optimal combination of quality and cost. Products are suitable for use at home, on a fishing trip or on a camping trip.

5 Browning FA18

The seller from Aliexpress claims that we have a real military knife. The description on the website states that the blade is made of 7CR18MOV steel. Its hardness is 57-58 units, which is a fairly high indicator, telling us that the knife can be sharpened, does not dull from contact with hard objects and overall durability.

The handle is two-piece. It uses steel of an unknown brand and plastic class G10. But the main advantage lies in the design of the product itself. She is not whole. Each element can be removed, cleaned and, if necessary, replaced. By the way, the same seller has accessories for this knife, which, on the one hand, is good and convenient, but on the other hand, it is strange, given the high quality of the steel used. However, if we consider the knife as a model for tourism, then this is the best option in terms of convenience. And it can be cleaned after use.

4 rainy

Before us is the most original folding knife from Aliexpress. Its unusualness lies in the presence of two blades at once made of 440 steel with a hardness of 57 units. Outwardly, he resembles some attribute of a superhero from a comic book or a computer game. In practice, it is an ordinary toy, which even a tin can cannot be opened.The toy got into our top not only because of its unique appearance, but also due to the good quality of the materials.

Many buyers complain that the product does not have a specific purpose. Decoration for a bunch of keys, nothing more. However, it would be strange to expect some outstanding results, given the compact size of the product and its maximum inconvenience in use. But the design is collapsible, that is, the knife can be cleaned. For domestic purposes, Rainy is quite suitable, and more is not required from a knife.

3 Brother 1502G

The Brother 1502G is a successful copy of the so-called Kershaw 1993-2 gentleman's knife and the slightly less popular Navy K661. Its handle is made of G10 plastic, the blade is made of 440C steel with a hardness of 58–60 HRC. The dimensions of the cutting edge are 70.5 * 3 * 19.4 mm, the total weight of the tool is just over 70 grams. It is small and elegant, fits comfortably in the hand. The opening mechanism works well, with a quiet and pleasant click. The axle assembly here is non-separable, like the classic old-fashioned models.

Site users usually praise the product in reviews on Aliexpress. The folding knife is made neatly, there is only one drawback - the sharpening marks on the slopes look too rough and noticeable. The blade is sharp and cuts through wood, textiles, fruits and vegetables without any problems. For cutting large objects, the length of the blade is not always enough. Before use, be sure to wipe the knife, as the seller lubricates it with oil.

2 WARHERO Titanium Pocket Knive

The manufacturer calls the strict and concise knife WARHERO tactical. This compact model with a titanium alloy handle is durable and sharp. Its dimensions are 81 * 135 mm, the blade length is 30 mm. The cutting edge is made of stainless steel, the brand of which is not reported by the seller. It locks securely in the open position. The total weight of the folding knife is only 30 grams. The product is sent in a metal box, the kit includes 10 replacement blades.

In the reviews on Aliexpress they write that WARHERO is more like a scalpel, it should not be used as a regular knife. But for creating deep and thin cuts, the tool is ideal. There are various applications: you can chop fruit, cut a rope, open a package, etc. The spring is rigid, the product will not accidentally open in your pocket. Buyers consider the short blade to be the only drawback - it may not be enough for stationery needs.

1 WORKPRO W011009AE

The leader of this top category was a bright folding knife from the WORKPRO brand, well-known on Aliexpress. At a cost of just over 1000 rubles, it is a multifunctional tool for repair and use in everyday life. Inside the handle are as many as 5 stainless steel blades. The seller did not indicate its brand and hardness. The handle is quite light, it is made of ABS plastic. On the body of the product there is a blocker, a button to increase the pressure of the blade, as well as a slide switch to open the compartment with the rest of the knives. In addition, there is a clip to attach the tool to the belt.

Buyers highlight the good quality of plastic in the reviews, but the assembly as a whole leaves much to be desired. There are certain gaps, burrs, and the axial screw of the blade is not tightened enough. But the folding knife is really sharp, the mechanism is well fixed. Considering all this, the product corresponds to its price on Aliexpress.

Premium Quality Folding Knives from AliExpress

This category includes folding knives from different price categories, they have one thing in common - excellent workmanship and materials. Even AliExpress comes across original products from international brands. These are the products we included in the top.

5 WARHERO Folding Art Knife

The unnamed folding knife model from WARHERO opens the category of the highest quality tools in the top. At a relatively low price, it boasts solid workmanship and a sharp blade. For the manufacture of carbon and titanium were used. At the same time, the total weight of the tool is a little more than 22 grams, dimensions - 134 * 16 * 36 mm. The kit includes replacement blades, as well as a durable metal carrying case.

The blade has received mostly positive reviews from AliExpress users. Due to its compactness and minimal weight, WARHERO is the best option for small jobs around the house, and it is also convenient to take it with you on a hike or business trip. The cutting edge can be easily removed for cleaning and blade replacement. You can only find fault with the fact that refinement is required. It is recommended to disassemble and clean the knife. Another caveat - the packaging is not perfect, damage occurs during transportation.

4 Kershaw 3655 Volt SS

Kershaw 3655 Volt SS is not the newest, but definitely a successful folding knife model. It uses steel grade 8Cr13MoV, its hardness is 58 units. Blade parameters - 7.9 * 2.7 * 0.3 cm, total length reaches 19.6 cm. The handle is also made of stainless steel, all-metal dies. Because of this, the weight of the instrument turned out to be higher than that of analogues - as much as 145 grams. It is not very convenient to hold the knife with one hand, but it shows itself perfectly in working with different materials.

Buyers were satisfied with the appearance and build quality of the instrument. The blade does not play, the clip is fixed in three positions, it keeps well on the belt. The reduction of the blade is quite thin, but the factory sharpening is not always uniform. Also among the disadvantages mentioned is that the cutting edge is not quite in the center. The box is often crumpled during transportation, so it is not suitable for a gift - but this is not the most important selection criterion.

3 Kizer V4538N1

Knife from the global manufacturer Kaiser, which specializes in the production of kitchen attributes, but also produces interesting tactical knives. The blade is made of N690 steel, and the handle is made of G10 hard plastic. Such a knife could not fail to get into our top. Yes, the product can be safely called ideal in terms of the quality of the materials used, but, in any case, this is a tourist knife, albeit made in the best traditions of tactical models.

By the way, there are a lot of product reviews on Aliexpress, and all of them are extremely positive.The brand has long established itself in the market and strictly adheres to the company's tradition of maintaining quality. They also praise the design, the most thoughtful with good ergonomics. And the quality of the blade, stainless, slowly blunting and perfectly coping with hard objects. If not for the highest price on AliExpress, Kizer V4538N1 could be considered the best product in the top.

2 Ganzo Firebird F759M

Folding knives and other tools manufactured by Ganzo and its subsidiary Firebird are legendary far beyond AliExpress. Products from this brand are rarely found on the Chinese marketplace, but they instantly enter the top sellers. For example, the F759M model is ideal for everyday tasks and outdoor trips. With a 58-60 HRC 440C cutting edge, this tool is a replica of the Spyderco Delica 4, Byrd Cara Cara 2 and Byrd Meadowlark 2.

The handle is made of nylon and fiberglass. It is unpretentious in care, strong and comfortable. Embossed FRN overlays look stylish and bright. The length of the unfolded product is 175 mm, the weight does not exceed 70 g. Judging by the reviews, Ganzo is small and light, conveniently attached to a belt. Build quality, no backlash. The blade is sharp and is exactly in the center. The only negative is that the blade opens a little tight, it will be difficult to do it with one hand.

1 MITSUMOTO SAKARI MS-227

MITSUMOTO SAKARI MS-227 is a first-class knife from a famous Japanese brand.Its cutting edge is made of Aus-8 stainless steel with a high carbon and chromium content. It has better strength and rigidity, can do without sharpening for a long time. The model is available in two versions - with and without a blade lock in the open state. The ebonite handle has an ergonomic shape, due to which the hand does not get tired during long work with a folding knife. The tool is easy to open with one hand.

Reviews praise the design of the MS-227 and the sharpness of the cutting edge. Japanese Aus-8 steel is sensitive to high humidity, so it is recommended to store the product in a dry place. It is also important to properly care for the blade, but this rule applies to all models from the top. The disadvantages of buyers include the fact that the blade backlash in the closed position. There is a risk of accidentally opening it and cutting yourself. The rest of the product can be considered the best option.
