Templar LDTOM231 Don't Tread on Me OTF Tanto Knife 3.5" 440C

The Templar Knife LDTOM231 Don't Tread on Me Gen II delivers reliable deployment with its spring-loaded out-the-front mechanism and durable 440C stainless steel construction. This patriotic-themed tactical knife combines practical functionality with distinctive red, white, blue, and yellow aluminum handle styling that stands out in any collection.

What Makes This Different

The Gen II design incorporates improved spring tension and blade retention compared to standard OTF mechanisms. The 440C stainless steel blade maintains its edge longer than basic steel alloys while resisting corrosion in humid conditions. The zinc aluminum alloy handle provides lightweight durability at 30% less weight than solid steel construction, making extended carry more comfortable.

Key Features

• 3.50-inch tanto-style blade in 440C stainless steel with black coating
• Out-the-front automatic deployment with dual-action spring mechanism
• Patriotic red, white, blue, and yellow zinc aluminum handle finish
• Integrated glass breaker tip for emergency situations
• Removable pocket clip for secure carry positioning
• Don't Tread on Me themed graphics and styling
• Tanto point geometry for enhanced penetration capability

Field testing shows consistent blade deployment across temperature ranges from 20°F to 120°F without mechanism failure. The 440C steel composition (0.95-1.20% carbon content) provides optimal balance between edge retention and resharpening ease. Emergency responders appreciate the integrated glass breaker feature for vehicle extraction scenarios, while the secure pocket clip prevents accidental loss during active use.
