The Templar Knife SAR15531 delivers reliable out-the-front deployment with distinctive AR-15 themed styling for tactical professionals and collectors. This compact OTF knife combines a partially serrated tanto blade with patriotic aluminum handle graphics that make a statement while maintaining functionality.
What Makes This Different
The Gen II design incorporates improved spring mechanisms and blade retention compared to standard budget OTF knives. The 440C stainless steel construction provides superior edge retention over 420 steel alternatives commonly found in this price range. The distinctive "Come And Take It" AR-15 graphics are laser-etched into the aluminum handle rather than applied as decals, ensuring long-term durability.
Key Features
- 2.69-inch tanto blade with partial serrations for versatile cutting tasks
- 440C stainless steel blade material with black finish for corrosion resistance
- Dual-action out-the-front mechanism with safety lock
- 4.31-inch aluminum handle with laser-etched AR-15 graphics
- Removable pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry options
- Includes protective nylon sheath for secure storage

Field performance centers on the tanto point design, which excels at piercing tasks and detail work while the partial serrations handle fibrous materials effectively. The spring-loaded mechanism provides consistent deployment across temperature ranges, making it suitable for outdoor activities, tactical applications, and everyday carry. The aluminum construction keeps weight minimal at approximately 3.2 ounces while maintaining structural integrity under normal use conditions.
