Templar Knife built the Templar Excalibur Small OTF Tanto around a 3-inch D2 tool steel, black oxide stonewashed tanto blade, set in an aluminum handle finished in black, for hunting camp and field chores (Templar part no. XSBR221). Press the button and the blade fires straight out the front of the handle; press it again and it retracts back inside. The design adds no-hardware, easy-disassembly design for simple cleaning. It’s a straightforward pick for anyone who wants a dependable Templar automatic in daily rotation.
