Templar Knife Premium LW Large — 3.50" OTF Tanto, Plain Edge, Black Oxide Stonewashed Powdered D2 Blade, 5.25" Bronze Anodized Aluminum Handle
Model: LAAB221 • UPC: 093674823631
Bring premium materials and fast, one-handed action to your EDC with the Templar Knife Premium LW Large. This out-the-front (OTF) automatic (where lawful) features a 3.50-inch tanto, plain-edge blade made from black oxide stonewashed powdered D2 tool steel—a combo renowned for edge retention, wear resistance, and low-glare durability. The 5.25-inch bronze anodized aluminum handle keeps weight low and balance dialed, while delivering a rugged, scratch-hiding finish that looks better with use.
Why This OTF Stands Out
Powdered D2 Tool Steel: Engineered for high wear resistance and edge stability; the black oxide stonewash masks scuffs and adds a layer of corrosion protection.
Tanto, Plain Edge: Reinforced point for decisive pierce performance with a long, straight cutting edge for clean, controlled slicing.
True OTF Convenience: Thumb-slide, double-action mechanism offers one-hand deploy and retract—ideal when the other hand is busy.
Lightweight, Strong Chassis: Bronze anodized aluminum handle resists abrasion, stays cool to the touch, and carries slim in pocket organizers.
Grip You Can Trust: Contoured flats and subtle texturing enhance traction without tearing up pockets or gloves.
Everyday Practicality: A pocket-friendly profile (with carry clip if included by run) slips easily into work pants, jeans, or a range bag.

Real-World Performance
The Premium LW Large is tuned for confident action every time. Powdered D2 keeps a keen working edge through abrasive tasks like cardboard, strapping, and rope. The stonewashed black oxide finish conceals everyday scuffs while reducing glare, and the aluminum frame resists flex for a secure, wobble-free feel during hard cuts. Result: reliable deployment, sure-handed control, and cutting performance that earns its pocket time.
Ergonomics & Handling
Secure Purchase: Chamfered edges and shallow traction zones deliver comfort and control in wet, dry, or gloved use.
Balanced in Hand: Blade-to-handle proportions feel neutral, making snap cuts and precision work more intuitive.
Ambidextrous Friendly: Centerline thumb slide and symmetrical blade profile suit right- or left-hand users (clip orientation varies by run).
Ideal Use Cases
Everyday Carry: Break down boxes, slice shrink wrap, open packages, and cut cordage with one-hand convenience.
Shop & Range: Trim targets, nylon straps, and foam; keep a reliable cutter in the tool roll or bench caddy.
Travel & Overland (Where Lawful): Compact, rugged edge tool for camp chores and on-the-go fixes.
Care & Maintenance (D2 & OTF)
Keep It Clean: Blow out the mechanism with compressed air; add a drop of light oil to the track/pivot sparingly.
Edge Touch-Ups: Maintain with a fine ceramic rod or diamond plate—frequent light passes keep D2 razor-ready.
Wipe After Use: D2 is semi-stainless; clean and lightly oil the edge after cutting wet/acidic materials.
Hardware Check: Periodically snug clip/body screws to spec to preserve action integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the edge serrated?
A: No. The plain edge maximizes clean cuts and simplifies sharpening.
Q: Is it double-action?
A: Yes—thumb slide deploys and retracts the blade for one-hand operation.
Q: Does the stonewashed black oxide really hide wear?
A: Absolutely. The textured, darkened finish camouflages micro-scratches and everyday marks.
Q: How does a tanto compare to a drop point?
A: The tanto tip concentrates strength at the point for confident piercing, while the long straight edge excels at controlled slicing.
