Templar Knife MZBR321 Premium Weighted Slim 3.16" OTF Drop Point Plain Black Oxide Stonewashed Powder Coated D2 Steel Blade, 4.93" Black Aluminum/Rubber Handle
$109.84
The Templar Knife MZBR321 is a premium OTF (out-the-front) knife built for users who want a slim, reliable blade without unnecessary bulk. The 3.16-inch drop point blade is forged from D2 steel with a stonewashed, black oxide finish—a finish that hides wear and develops character with use. The plain edge holds an edge well and is straightforward to sharpen in the field. At under 5 inches closed, the 4.93-inch handle pairs aluminum and rubber construction for a secure grip that won't slip when things get serious.
OTF knives earn their place in a shooter's or outdoorsman's kit because they deploy and stow fast. Whether you're breaking down game, processing camp tasks, or need a blade that's always at hand without fumbling, the weighted design of this Templar gives you that quick-access confidence. The matte black finish means no glint to give away your position, and the slim profile slides into a pack or vest pocket without catching. This is a working tool, not a showpiece.
D2 steel is a popular choice for field knives—it resists corrosion better than plain carbon steel and takes a keen edge. The combination of materials here (steel blade, aluminum and rubber handle) balances durability with weight control, so you're not carrying dead metal when every ounce counts on a hunt or overnight trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OTF knife good for?
An out-the-front knife deploys with one hand and a thumb button or lever, making it ideal for situations where you need a blade fast—field dressing, camp tasks, or any job where your other hand is occupied. The Templar's slim profile means it won't bulk up your gear.
Is D2 steel a good choice for hunting and outdoor use?
Yes. D2 steel holds an edge well and resists corrosion better than plain carbon steel, striking a balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. It's a proven choice for field knives that see regular use.
Will the black oxide finish wear off?
The stonewashed black oxide finish is durable and designed to develop a natural patina with use. The matte appearance also means scratches and wear don't show as readily as they would on a polished blade—a practical choice for a working knife.
Is this knife easy to carry?
At 4.93 inches closed, the MZBR321 is slim enough to carry in a vest pocket, pack, or hunting bag without adding bulk. The aluminum and rubber handle keeps weight down while maintaining grip security.
