Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this Slider and larger Templar OTF knives?

The Slider is the compact option in the Templar lineup. At 2.75" blade length, it's designed for shooters and hunters who want an OTF dagger that fits comfortably in a cargo pocket or pack without bulk. If you need more cutting capacity, Templar offers larger models, but the Slider excels as a utility blade for field work and everyday carry.

Is D2 steel a good choice for hunting and outdoor use?

Yes. D2 is a tool steel known for holding an edge well and resisting corrosion in the field. It's not stainless, so it can develop a patina if exposed to moisture, but it's straightforward to care for and easy to sharpen with basic equipment. Many working hunters and shooters prefer D2 for its balance of edge retention and toughness.

How does the side-opener work?

The side-opening mechanism deploys the blade via a button or lever on the side of the handle. It's a fast, one-handed operation—useful when your other hand is occupied or gloved. Practice and familiarity will make it second nature.

Is this knife compact enough for everyday carry?

Absolutely. At 2.75" blade length with a lightweight aluminum handle and small overall profile, the Slider is designed to slip into a pocket or pack without noticeable bulk. It's sized for shooters, hunters, and field workers who want a reliable blade without the weight and footprint of a full-size knife.
