California
Special

This Special Projects Division CA.lifornia S.pecial O.ut t.he F.ront is a compact and legal to carry in the state of California, automatic knife.

Details
Make the
Design

It is the finer points in design that defines the goods that PDW design and makes. In addition to the expertly machine jimping, pocket clip and Hyperglow glow dot in the titanium switch, this version of the CAS OTF features a Crucible Magnacut® blade.

Designed
Smarter

Our Founder and Chief Designer Patrick Ma strives to apply his unique design perspective in all of PDW's goods. From something as pedestrian as his intentional choice of using a billet titanium pocket clip over a low cost sheet metal type to an machined lanyard hole cleverly integrated in the handle, it's this ethos which makes our goods stand apart.

Projects
Division

The CAS OTF falls under our Special Projects Division label. This division is tasked with creating experimental runs, limited production editions, collaborations, tackling unusual design challenges, and creating unexpected but useful results that may often change and/or improves the nature of things in a particular context.

Phenomenal OTF

Great knife, wish it could be purchased as a fidget toy with a harmless blade. Very satisfying to hold and click sound.

Small and mighty pocket tank

Yes, this is small––a CA-legal auto, thank you very much––but it punches well above its size/weight class. This is a surprisingly robust knife, meticulously made with sleek lines of a gentleman's knife, but capable of much more. This is not flimsy, and it opens with a resounding, satisfying THWAK! (I'm looking at you, Benchmade Shootout.) MagnaCut blade is thin and shaving sharp, ready to rock. Note that the handle is barely three-finger; for more secure grip, I use a tether-cord lanyard to pass my pinkie through. All good. For those wishing for a longer version: it's called the SPD UFO. PDW, PLEASE MAKE MORE! :)

Nice little every day knife

The good: Well made, nice design and aesthetics, I only wish it was at least 1-2 inches longer that would make it a great trail knife. I would definitely buy another one if more than a mini in size.
The bad: the zipper bag, that the knife came in was obviously made for larger knives you sell. Not useful for this knife. You can do better!
