The Templar LZLGB521 delivers reliable out-the-front deployment with premium D2 steel construction for demanding tactical applications. This weighted OTF knife combines the cutting efficiency of a tanto point with partial serrations for versatile field performance.
What Makes This Different
The black oxide stonewashed finish on the powdered D2 steel blade provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel alternatives. The weighted aluminum-zinc alloy handle offers enhanced balance during precision cutting tasks. At 3.55 inches, the blade length maximizes cutting performance while remaining within legal carry limits in most jurisdictions.
Key Features
- 3.55-inch D2 steel tanto blade with black oxide stonewashed finish
