Sao Squid OTF Knife — CPM-20CV Automatic Out-The-Front Built For Everyday Carry
If you are looking for an OTF automatic pocket knife that pairs premium blade steel with a comfortable everyday-carry footprint, the Sao Squid OTF is engineered to deliver. Built around a stonewashed CPM-20CV blade and an anodized aluminum handle dressed with a bone inlay, this Squid OTF punches well above its 99-gram weight class.
Why the Sao Squid OTF Belongs In Your Pocket
- CPM-20CV blade steel — A high-vanilla powder metallurgy stainless steel that holds a working edge through daily cutting tasks while resisting corrosion.
- Stonewashed blade finish — Hides wear from EDC pocket carry, scratches, and scuffs so the knife keeps its clean look through years of rotation.
- Anodized aluminum handle — Lightweight, durable, and finished in an eye-catching green-to-purple anodized fade with a bone inlay accent for grip texture and visual character.
- True out-the-front action — A reliable OTF mechanism deploys and retracts the blade with a single sliding thumb switch, perfect for one-handed use when your other hand is occupied.
- Compact 95mm closed / 60mm blade — A balanced footprint that disappears in the pocket yet still offers a usable cutting edge when you need it.
- 99-gram carry weight — Heavier feel than a slim flipper but still light enough for daily EDC without pulling your pants down.
