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.
Special 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.

I bought two of these, the Green one for myself and Grey/Black one for my wife. She carries hers all the time and love it! Although I have not carried or used mine a great deal yet, the craftsmanship is spot on! The button is perfectly sized and contoured for ease of firing and retraction of the blade. The handle is perfectly contoured as well and feels good in the hand even with it's diminutive size. PDW did their homework as usual, then designed and built a great CA legal OTF for sure!
Thank you for your review Douglas!

Amazing knife
Perfect companion on short trips - a compact, solidly built knife that features incredible craftsmanship with an impeccable mechanical function. It just feels good in your hand. Even the eye for a lanyard was well designed. My new favorite EDC.
