The Templar Knife MWUS231 Gen II Slim OTF is a double-action out-of-the-front knife built for serious users who want a reliable blade without bulk. With a slimmer handle design and tanto-style 440C stainless steel blade, it delivers field performance in a package that doesn't dominate your pocket. The Gen II's proven double-action mechanism pairs with a built-in safety feature that stops blade deployment if it meets resistance—so you won't have a fully extended blade if the knife accidentally opens in your pocket. Reset is simple: just pull the blade to locked position and you're ready for the next deployment.
Built into the aluminum frame with US flag wood grain detail, this knife handles everyday carry, tactical work, and outdoor tasks. A glass breaker at the pommel adds emergency utility, the pocket clip keeps it accessible, and the included nylon sheath rounds out the package. At 6.6 ounces with a 3.43-inch blade and 5.125-inch handle, the MWUS231 balances substance with restraint—it's a full-size knife that doesn't feel oversized when you're wearing it all day.
Templar Knife has built a reputation on double-action OTF knives that work when deployed under stress. The Gen II Slim updates that formula for users who want proven mechanics without sacrificing concealability or comfort. Whether you're a working professional, outdoor enthusiast, or collector, this tanto blade and robust steel construction deliver the durability and action you expect from a serious knife.
