Model: SZTX321 • UPC: 093674817463 • Action: OTF (Out-the-Front) • Blade: 3.00" Drop Point, Plain Edge • Steel: D2 Tool Steel (Black Oxide Stonewashed) • Handle: 4.50" Aluminum-Zinc Alloy, Red/White/Blue with “The LONE STAR State” motif • Series: Premium Weighted Small • Overall Length: ~7.5" (open, approx.)
Carry Texas pride in a compact, hard-working OTF. The Templar Knife Premium Weighted “Texan” Small (SZTX321) pairs a pocket-friendly 3-inch drop-point D2 blade with a weighted 4.50-inch aluminum-zinc alloy handle finished in bold red, white, and blue and emblazoned with “The LONE STAR State.” The black oxide stonewashed blade reduces glare and hides daily wear, while the OTF mechanism delivers fast, one-hand deployment for real-world cutting tasks—from cardboard and pallet wrap to nylon strap and paracord.
Why the “Texan” Premium Weighted Small Stands Out
D2 Tool Steel Performance: Renowned for excellent edge retention and wear resistance, D2 keeps cutting longer through boxes, zip ties, webbing, and clamshells.
Black Oxide Stonewash: A subdued, scratch-forgiving finish that camouflages scuffs and maintains a clean, professional appearance.
Weighted, Compact Control: The aluminum-zinc chassis adds purposeful heft for a planted, confident grip in a smaller footprint—ideal for precise tip work.
Versatile Drop Point: Strong tip and generous belly enable clean slicing, accurate scoring, and everyday utility across a wide range of materials.
One-Hand OTF Action: Out-the-front deployment and retraction via a tactile thumb slider for instant access when your other hand is occupied.
Lone Star Styling: The vibrant red/white/blue handle with “The LONE STAR State” script showcases Texas spirit without compromising ergonomics.

Storage: Retract the blade fully; keep debris out of the mechanism for best reliability.
Safety & Legal Reminder
Know Your Laws: OTF knives are regulated in some jurisdictions—confirm local/state regulations before purchase, carry, or transport.
Responsible Handling: Keep fingers clear of the blade path; deploy/retract deliberately.
