Templar Knives announced the latest addition to their OTF (Out the Front) series called the Cali Legal Micro knife.

Templar, which reportedly has the fastest growing brand in the automatic knives sector, has been looking to add to their every popular OTF or Out the Front automatic knives. President and Co-Owner, Shawn Cauble says, “People kept asking us to make the Cali Legal Micro. They would say, I don’t want to carry a regular sized knife, I just want something I can open my Amazon boxes and mail with. So we complied and are grateful for the response the knife is getting in the market!”
