Templar Knife STX531 Texan Gen II Small 2.25" OTF Tanto Part Serrated Black Oxide Stonewashed Blade, Texas Flag Handle with Glass Breaker, Pocket Clip & Sheath

The Templar Knife STX531 Texan Gen II small OTF knife brings capable, dependable cutting to your EDC rotation—whether you're working a ranch, breaking glass in an emergency, or just need reliable steel within arm's reach. Built around a 2.25-inch tanto blade with partial serration and a stonewashed, black oxide finish, this out-the-front auto is designed to handle real work without the fuss. The partially serrated edge gives you versatility for both fine cuts and tougher tasks, while the robust blade profile works as well on rope and cordage as it does on tougher materials.

The handle tells the story: a Texas flag graphic on aluminum construction, paired with a glass breaker for emergency situations and a pocket clip for secure carry. At 4.31 inches closed, it's compact enough for deep carry or lap work yet substantial in hand. The OTF deployment is fast and certain—no fumbling, just draw and extend. Whether you're in the field, on the job, or preparing for contingencies, the Texan Gen II is built on the philosophy that a knife should work harder than the person carrying it.

This model comes ready to deploy with an included sheath, so you have options for carry depending on the job and your gear setup. The stonewashed finish hides wear and developing patina, and the black oxide coating resists corrosion—practical details that let you focus on the work rather than babying your gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Texan Gen II and other small OTF knives?

The Templar Knife Texan Gen II balances compact size with practical features. The 2.25-inch blade is small enough for everyday carry but the tanto profile and partial serration give you genuine utility. The integrated glass breaker and included sheath set it apart as a tool with real-world versatility beyond basic cutting.

Is this knife legal to carry?

OTF knife legality varies significantly by state and municipality. We strongly recommend checking your local and state laws before carry. Some areas restrict automatic knives entirely, while others permit them with certain blade-length limits. Do your research and carry responsibly.

Can I use the pocket clip with the sheath?

The pocket clip and sheath give you two carry options depending on your rig and job. The clip works for belt carry or pack loops; the sheath offers a traditional fixed-carry method. Choose based on your mission and gear setup.

What blade material is this knife made from?

The Texan Gen II features a 440C stainless steel blade with a black oxide stonewashed finish. This gives you good edge retention and corrosion resistance with a finish that hides use and wear naturally.
