Availability: In Stock
The Templar Knife LAAB221 is a premium lightweight OTF tanto knife built for users who demand a compact, reliable blade without unnecessary weight. This is a serious working knife—not a novelty—with a 3.50" black oxide D2 steel blade and a 5.25" bronze anodized aluminum handle that balances durability with portability. Whether you're carrying it as an everyday tool, backup blade, or field knife, the LAAB221 delivers the speed and precision of an out-of-the-front design in a size that won't burden your carry.
D2 steel is a proven choice for working blades: it holds an edge well, resists corrosion thanks to the black oxide finish, and is reasonably straightforward to maintain in the field. The tanto blade geometry gives you a sharp point for precision work and a robust edge for general cutting tasks. The bronze anodized aluminum handle keeps weight down while maintaining rigidity, and the finish is designed to resist wear and patina over time.
Templar Knife's engineering focuses on reliability and user ergonomics—this isn't a flashy piece, it's a tool. The OTF mechanism is smooth and consistent, and the compact profile makes it suitable for everyday carry, camping, hunting, or any scenario where you need a fast-deploying blade without the footprint of a full-size fixed knife or folder.

The LAAB221 uses D2 steel, a high-carbon tool steel that holds an edge well and resists corrosion, especially with the black oxide coating. D2 is a solid choice for working blades and is relatively easy to maintain with basic field care.
Yes. At 3.50" blade length with a lightweight aluminum handle, the LAAB221 is compact and light enough for daily carry. It's designed to be a practical tool, not just a tactical accessory, and the OTF deployment makes it fast to access when you need it.
Black oxide is a corrosion-resistant coating applied to the D2 steel blade. It protects against rust and oxidation, maintains the blade's appearance over time, and reduces glare. It requires basic maintenance like any working blade, but it's a durable finish for field use.
