The Templar Knife MAUS321 delivers precision cutting performance in a compact OTF (out-the-front) design that deploys instantly with single-handed operation. This premium tactical knife combines American-made craftsmanship with military-grade materials for professionals who demand reliability in critical situations.
What Makes This Different
The MAUS321 features powdered D2 tool steel construction with black oxide stonewash finish that resists corrosion while maintaining a razor-sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel blades. The dual-action OTF mechanism provides lightning-fast deployment and retraction with ambidextrous thumb slide operation. Unlike cheaper alternatives with aluminum handles that flex under pressure, this knife's 4.93-inch anodized aluminum handle incorporates internal steel reinforcement for maximum durability.
Key Features
- 3.16-inch drop point blade in powdered D2 steel with 58-60 HRC hardness rating

Field testing demonstrates consistent blade deployment across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without mechanism failure. The D2 steel composition maintains cutting performance through extended use on rope, cardboard, and synthetic materials. Law enforcement and military personnel appreciate the knife's slim profile that won't print through clothing while remaining instantly accessible. The drop point geometry excels at both precision tasks and general utility cutting.
