The Templar Knife MAUS321 Premium Lightweight OTF Knife is a purpose-built out-of-the-front blade designed for shooters, hunters, and outdoor professionals who need reliable steel within arm's reach. This slim, fast-deploying knife pairs a 3.16" D2 steel blade finished in black oxide stonewash with a 4.93" anodized aluminum handle bearing the US Flag. It's lightweight enough for EDC or pack carry without the bulk, yet built on the Templar reputation for American-made durability.
OTF knives have earned their place in field kits, truck beds, and range bags because they deliver serious blade access in a fraction of the time a traditional folder requires. The MAUS321's compact profile and premium materials mean you get the speed and reliability of an automatic without sacrificing practicality. The D2 blade takes and holds an edge well, and the stonewashed finish hides wear—a smart choice for a working blade. The anodized aluminum handle is corrosion-resistant and lightweight, balancing durability with the portability that matters when you're hiking, hunting, or running a busy shooting course.
Templar Knife built this OTF to fit the working lifestyle of people who live and play outdoors. Whether you're opening boxes at the range, field dressing game, cutting rope, or just carrying something you can deploy single-handed, the MAUS321 does the job without excess weight. The US Flag anodizing is a nod to American manufacturing and gives you a blade that looks as good as it functions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OTF knife and when would I use one?
An out-of-the-front (OTF) knife deploys the blade straight out the front of the handle with a single-hand trigger or button press—no flipping or two-handed opening required. Hunters, shooters, outdoor workers, and field professionals favor OTF designs because they provide fast blade access in urgent situations, whether you're opening packaging at the range, processing game, cutting gear, or managing rope and cordage one-handed.
Is the MAUS321 lightweight enough for everyday carry?
Yes. The premium lightweight aluminum handle and compact 3.16" blade make the MAUS321 suitable for EDC or pack carry without adding significant weight or bulk to your kit. It's designed to be carried and deployed without becoming a burden during long days in the field or at the range.
What makes D2 steel a good choice for this blade?
D2 steel is a tool steel known for holding an edge well and resisting corrosion better than basic carbon steels. The stonewashed black oxide finish enhances both durability and aesthetics, hiding wear and scratches while keeping the blade looking field-ready over time.
Is this knife made in the USA?
Templar Knife manufactures this model. The US Flag anodizing reflects the brand's commitment to American production and quality craftsmanship.
