The Flissa Folding Pocket Knife (F014035) is a black folder with a tanto blade, a liner lock and an aluminium handle with a glass breaker and a seatbelt cutter built in. It weighs 126 g. It’s our top-rated camping knife, and it lives in the car as much as in the camp kit. I paid $30 for it.
What’s in the box

The tanto blade
A tanto has a straight, angled tip that’s very strong, so it’s good for piercing jobs like opening packaging or cutting through tough plastic, as well as everyday cutting of rope, food and cable ties. The blade opens one-handed with a push on the tab at the back of the blade, and the liner lock snaps across behind it with no play. 7CR17MOV is easy to sharpen on a simple stone, though the angled tip takes a little more care than a plain point.
Glass breaker and seatbelt cutterGlass breaker and cutter
This is what sets it apart. A tungsten glass breaker sticks out at the end of the handle, and a hooked seatbelt cutter sits next to it. Both work with the blade folded away. You hope you never need them, but in a vehicle they’re the tools that matter most in an accident.
Grip and carry
The grooves along the handle give your fingers something to hold, and the pocket clip keeps it at the top of a pocket. At 126 g it’s not the lightest folder, but you don’t notice it in the car door or a bag. The aluminium feels cold and gets slippery with wet hands, and the steel isn’t rust-proof, so dry the blade after a wet day.
Flissa knives compared
We’ve tested two other Flissa knives. The Flissa D2 Folding Knife is a lighter folder with harder D2 steel and a grippy green G10 handle, but no emergency tools. The Flissa Bushcraft Knife is a fixed blade in a belt sheath for camp chores. Our camping knives guide ranks all seven knives we’ve tested.

Conclusion: Flissa Folding Pocket KnifeConclusion
The Flissa Folding Pocket Knife is our favourite camping knife: a strong tanto blade that opens with one hand, a solid liner lock, and a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter that earn it a place in the car. The angled tip takes more care to sharpen, the handle is slippery when wet and the blade needs drying after use. I paid $30, and it’s a lot of knife for the money.
