The Templar Knife LAAB121 delivers precision-engineered OTF (Out The Front) functionality in a premium lightweight package designed for tactical professionals and knife enthusiasts. This large-frame automatic knife combines D2 tool steel performance with bronze anodized aluminum construction for reliable daily carry performance.
What Makes This Different
The LAAB121 features powdered D2 steel blade construction with black oxide stonewash finish, offering superior edge retention compared to standard stainless steel alternatives. The 5.25" bronze anodized aluminum handle provides optimal grip-to-weight ratio while housing a precision-machined firing mechanism rated for thousands of deployments. This combination delivers professional-grade reliability in a package 30% lighter than comparable steel-handled models.
Key Features
