The Templar Badlands Slim OTF Drop Point is an out-the-front knife with a 3.43-inch drop point blade in the full-size, slimmer-handle frame (Templar part no. M-BDL-33-1). In an OTF knife the blade deploys and retracts through the front of the handle. This Gen II Badlands version has a glass breaker at the butt end and a pocket clip for carry. The slim handle is only 0.55 inches wide and the knife weighs 6.6 ounces, so it carries lighter than the Large frame. It is an everyday carry OTF for people who want full-size reach without the bulk.
