The Templar MAAB121 delivers precision cutting performance in a compact, lightweight package designed for tactical professionals and everyday carry enthusiasts. This premium folding dagger combines D2 tool steel construction with aerospace-grade aluminum handles for exceptional durability without excess weight. The black oxide stonewashed finish provides corrosion resistance while reducing glare in tactical situations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard pocket knives, the MAAB121 features a true dagger-style blade profile with dual cutting edges for enhanced versatility. The D2 tool steel maintains a sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel alternatives, with a Rockwell hardness rating of 60-62 HRC. The bronze-aged aluminum handle construction reduces overall weight by 30% compared to steel-handled alternatives while maintaining structural integrity under stress.
