The Templar Knife MAR15231 Gen II Slim OTF (out-the-front) tanto is built for shooters, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who needs a reliable blade within arm's reach. This is a compact, efficient fighting and utility knife that combines a proven tanto point with the speed of an OTF deployment—no fancy marketing, just solid steel and aluminum engineering designed to work hard in the field or at the range.
The blade is 440C stainless steel with a black oxide stonewashed finish that resists corrosion and doesn't scream for attention. The tanto profile excels at piercing and controlled cuts, a geometry favored by serious knife users who value predictable edge geometry over flashy curves. At 3.43" of blade length, you're getting a tool that's legal to carry in most jurisdictions while delivering genuine cutting performance. The black aluminum handle is durable, lightweight, and sized for confident control in work gloves or bare hands.
Templar built in a glass breaker—a practical feature if you're prepping for worst-case scenarios or just want redundancy in your kit. The knife ships with a sheath, so you're ready to deploy right out of the box. The "Come And Take It" AR-15 themed branding appeals to the shooting community, and the Gen II designation reflects Templar's refinement of an already proven design. This is the kind of knife you keep in a truck, a range bag, or your EDC rotation because it does what you ask without complaints.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an OTF knife and a folding knife?
An OTF (out-the-front) knife deploys the blade automatically with the push of a button or lever, extending the blade forward from the handle in one motion. This gives you speed and one-handed operation. Folding knives require manual opening and are generally more compact when closed. OTFs prioritize speed of deployment; folding knives prioritize compact carry.
Is this knife legal to carry?
Knife laws vary significantly by state and locality. The 3.43" blade length and OTF design fall within legal carry ranges in many jurisdictions, but we can't advise on your specific location. Check your local and state laws before carrying.
What comes in the box?
The Templar Knife MAR15231 Gen II Slim comes with the knife and a sheath for secure carry and storage.
What's the glass breaker for?
The integrated glass breaker is a hardened striking point designed to break automotive or safety glass in emergency situations. It's a practical redundancy feature for field kits, vehicles, and preparedness-minded users.
