The Templar Knife CABR321 delivers precision cutting performance in an ultra-compact OTF (out-the-front) design that meets California's strict knife regulations. This micro-sized automatic knife combines premium D2 tool steel construction with lightweight aluminum handling for reliable everyday carry without bulk.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard folding knives that require two-handed operation, the CABR321's out-the-front mechanism enables instant single-handed deployment and retraction. The powdered D2 steel blade maintains superior edge retention compared to standard stainless options, while the black oxide stonewash finish resists corrosion and reduces glare. At just 1.85 inches, this blade length stays within California's legal parameters while providing adequate cutting capability.
Key Features
- 1.85-inch drop point blade in premium powdered D2 tool steel
- Black oxide stonewashed finish for corrosion resistance
- Lightweight aluminum and rubber handle construction
- Out-the-front automatic deployment mechanism
- 3.50-inch overall handle length for secure grip
- California legal blade length compliance

The CABR321 excels in utility cutting tasks where quick access matters. Emergency responders appreciate the single-handed operation when dealing with rope, tape, or packaging materials. The D2 steel composition provides excellent wear resistance for repeated cutting of cardboard, plastic strapping, and similar materials. The stonewashed finish conceals minor scratches that occur during regular use.
