Templar Knife Gen II Large 3.50" OTF Tanto Blade with US Flag Wood Grain Handle & Glass Breaker

The Templar Knife Gen II Large is a purpose-built OTF (out-the-front) knife designed for hunters, tactical users, and outdoor professionals who need reliable blade access in high-stakes situations. This tanto-blade model combines proven 440C stainless steel with a distinctive US flag wood grain handle, delivering both form and function. With a 3.5" blade and integrated glass breaker, it's engineered to handle cutting tasks and emergency scenarios with equal competence.

OTF knives earn their place in a working person's gear for one reason: speed. When you need steel in your hand now, a manual out-the-front mechanism beats folding every time. The Gen II's tanto profile excels at both slicing and thrusting cuts—popular with first responders and outdoorsmen who rely on their blade for everything from rope work to emergency egress. The glass breaker isn't an afterthought; it's a genuine survival tool built into the handle itself.

At 8.2 ounces with a handle measuring 5.5" from glass breaker to front, this is a full-sized tactical OTF that doesn't disappear in your pocket but delivers the heft and control that matter when precision counts. The wood grain handle provides visual appeal without sacrificing grip security. Whether you're rigging a treestand, processing game, or carrying for professional duty, the Templar Gen II Large is a no-nonsense blade built to work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a tanto blade and a drop point for hunting and field work?

A tanto blade has a reinforced, angular point that excels at thrusting and piercing tasks, making it popular with tactical users and professionals. The angular geometry also creates a stronger tip for detailed work. Drop points are more traditional hunting shapes. Both cut effectively; tanto simply offers different geometry for different hand positions and cutting angles.

What's included with the knife—is there a pocket clip or sheath?

The knife features a pocket clip for carry. Based on the product specifications provided, no additional sheath or accessories are listed as included; verify with Bosque Outdoors if you need storage or belt carry options.

Is 440C stainless steel a good blade material for outdoor and hunting use?

440C is a mid-range stainless steel that holds an edge reasonably well and resists corrosion—solid for general outdoor cutting, processing game, and camp tasks. It's not a premium steel (like M390 or CPM-S35VN), but it's proven in field work and easier to touch up with a simple stone when needed.

Can an out-the-front knife be used for hunting and field processing?

Yes. The 3.5" blade and tanto geometry are practical for cutting rope, opening game, and general camp work. OTFs are fast and reliable in the field, though check your local regulations—some areas have restrictions on OTF or automatic knives, even for lawful hunting purposes.
