Templar Slim Gen3 Tanto M3-BR-23-1 Automatic Double Action OTF, 440C

Product Description

Templar Slim Gen3 Tanto M3-BR-23-1 is a double action OTF automatic knife with a 3.43″ black 440C tanto blade. It belongs to Templar’s Slim Gen 3 series. The handle is a black premium metal alloy, and the whole knife weighs 6.6 oz.

What sets it apart

This is an out-the-front knife, so the blade deploys and retracts straight through the end of the handle. It opens at 8.48″ overall and closes down to 5.05″. The blade is 0.11″ thick and is listed at 61 HRC. The tanto shape gives you an angular tip and a strong point. Templar also lists a glass break feature and an easy reset on this model.

The black blade finish matches the black handle, so the knife looks the same from tip to tail. 440C is a stainless steel that many knife makers use, and it is a practical choice for a carry knife that sees regular use.

This knife suits people who like OTF automatics and want a slimmer profile than a bulky tactical model. It also works for collectors building out a Templar lineup. Automatic knife laws differ by state and locality, so check your local rules before you carry one.

For gear, think about a belt or pocket sheath, a small sharpening kit for 440C, and a hard case or pouch for storage and travel. A ballistic nylon sheath is also part of the model’s listed features.
