Templar Knife MZWUS121 Premium Weighted Small 3" OTF Dagger Plain Black Oxide Stonewashed Powder Coated D2 Steel Blade, 4.50" Painted Wood Grain US Flag Aluminum Zinc Alloy Handle
The Templar Knife MZWUS121 is a premium weighted OTF (out-the-front) dagger built for shooters and outdoors enthusiasts who want a compact, reliable blade they can count on. With a 3-inch D2 steel blade finished in black oxide stonewash and powder coat, this small OTF combines serious steel with a handle that makes a statement: a 4.50-inch aluminum-zinc alloy frame dressed in painted wood grain and a US flag design. It's the kind of knife that works as hard as it looks.
D2 steel is known for holding an edge and resisting corrosion—qualities that matter whether you're at the range, in camp, or handling everyday tasks. The stonewashed and powder-coated finish isn't just aesthetic; it reduces glare and adds durability. The weighted construction gives the blade authority and confidence in hand, and the compact 3-inch profile keeps it nimble for precise work without bulk.
The handle design—painted wood grain with patriotic flair on an aluminum-zinc alloy body—delivers a comfortable grip and solid feel. This is a knife built for the person who doesn't compromise on materials or character. Whether you're carrying it as a backup blade or your primary cutting tool, the MZWUS121 earns its place on your belt or in your pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
