Meet the pocket-friendly OTF that blends premium materials with everyday utility. The Templar Knife Premium LW Small (SAAB221) delivers rapid, one-hand deployment in a compact, lightweight package. Its 3-inch tanto blade is crafted from powdered D2 tool steel and finished in black oxide stonewash to shrug off scratches and keep glare to a minimum. Paired with a 4.50-inch bronze anodized aluminum handle, this slim carry rides comfortably while giving you confident control for daily tasks from cardboard breakdowns to cordage and strap work (where lawful).
Why the Premium LW Small (SAAB221) Stands Out
Cut More, Sharpen Less: Powdered D2 (via modern powder metallurgy) delivers excellent edge retention, uniform carbides for toughness, and reliable wear resistance in a compact blade.
Low-Glare Durability: The black oxide stonewashed finish hides scuffs and scratches from real use—ideal for a working EDC.
Tanto Utility, Plain Edge Control: Reinforced tip offers confident piercing starts; the long, straight cutting section makes clean, predictable slices and easy touch-ups.
Slim, Lightweight Handle: Bronze anodized aluminum scales keep carry weight low while adding traction and a distinctive, upscale look.
Fast OTF Deployment: One-hand, straight-line action for quick access when your other hand is busy—perfect around the shop, on the range, or on the job.

Real-World Performance
Everyday Cutting: Slice boxes, tape, pallet wrap, zip-ties, and light plastics with a crisp, stable edge that stays sharp longer.
Precision Control: The slim handle and tanto profile excel at detail work and controlled, straight-line cuts.
Finish That Works: Stonewash + black oxide disguises pocket wear and reduces friction through abrasive media.
Ideal Use Cases
EDC & Work: Office, warehouse, shop, and tool-bag tasks where a compact yet capable cutter shines.
Range & Field Kits: Cordage management, target hangers, gear straps, and packaging (clean after exposure to moisture or grit).
Travel & Admin Pouches: Slim profile packs easily in organizers and small pockets.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe & Dry: After use—especially in wet or dusty environments—wipe the blade and handle clean and dry thoroughly.
Edge Touch-Ups: Maintain with a fine ceramic or diamond rod; light, frequent honing keeps D2 razor-keen.
Mechanism Care: Use a short burst of compressed air to clear pocket lint. A drop of light oil at the interface keeps action smooth—use sparingly.
Storage: Retract blade fully before pocketing or storing; avoid debris inside the mechanism.
Safety & Legal Reminder
Know Your Local Laws: OTF knives are restricted in some jurisdictions. Verify state and local regulations for purchase, carry, and transport.
Responsible Handling: Keep fingers clear of the blade path; retract when not in use.
Secure Storage: Keep out of reach of children; use the clip or a sheath to protect the edge and mechanism.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the edge serrated?
A: No—the plain edge offers cleaner cuts and straightforward sharpening.
Q: What’s special about powdered D2?
A: Powder metallurgy refines carbide distribution, offering more uniform toughness and edge stability compared to conventional D2.
Q: Can I pry with the blade?
A: No—like all precision OTFs, this is a cutting tool. Avoid prying, twisting, or batoning that can damage blade or mechanism.
Q: Does it include a pocket clip?
A: Premium LW Small models typically ship with a clip; verify the SAAB221 listing for exact hardware.
