PDW releases their v2 CA.lifornia S.pecialO.ut t.he F.ront automatic knife featuring MagnaCut steel, under their sub-label of Special Projects Division. Compact and legal to carry in the state of California, this knife is precision made from aerospace grade T6061 AL, 6AL4V titanium, Crucible MagnaCut, and Hyperglow.
Details make the design. We produce some of the only OTFs on the market with a milled contoured handle, which requires 3x longer on the CNC to achieve. We designed this OTF handle where the machine screws are in blind holes for an unclutteredand clean presentation side. A titanium pocket clip, and a titanium slider with Hyperglow dot round out the finer details.
The SPD Edition CAS OTF v2 will be available with a 2-tone finished blade and dark gray, OD green, and orange or purple anodized or DLC handles.
PDW Founder and Chief Designer PDW states:
“The CA.lifornia S.pecial OTF exemplifies my design and production ethos. Its functional design strength comes from its simplicity. There are no racing stripes, randomly ground contours, garish decorative elements, superfluous swooshes and silly lines. Despites its diminutive ‘California Special” size, this compact out the front knife is very versatile and highly usable for your daily cutting chores. From opening boxes, stubborn plastic packages, to envelopes, and much more, this knife will easily tackle the job. The action is crisp and satisfying to fire and close. I chose the highest level of materials and held steadfast to our stringent attention to details and highest quality of make. For those who adhere to the philosophy of form follows function, find beauty in finely made edged tools, and demand precision made mechanical objects, the CAS OTF is made for you.”
The SPD CAS OTF v2 is available now for $195.00 via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
