there are lots of "best" tactical folders. otherwise, we'd all just own one.
I can only give you advise based on what I carry, and that is one of two, either a Spyderco Millitary, or a Microtech Socom with clip-point blade. Both are well made, come shaving sharp from the factory, feature about 4" cutting edge, are easy to open with one hand, feature a pocket clip, and use excellent materials in their construction. I'd say the Socom is better made, but then again it costs more. One thing about the gray chromium nitride finish on the old Socoms, it's almost bulletproof. A friend uses the back of his blade to open beer bottles, and there isn't a scratch. I just use mine to cut bagels.
