A lot of cities cap carry at two inches regardless of what the state allows, and California's own limit is what the frame was drawn around. It is the Pro-Tech auto you can carry in places the Godfather and the Malibu will not go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTitanium and Abalone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid titanium rather than aluminum changes what the knife feels like in hand. It is denser, it warms to your hand instead of staying cold, and anodizing it is a heat and electrical process rather than a coating, so the color is in the oxide layer and will not chip off the way paint does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abalone is shell, set as an inlay. It reads green and blue depending on the angle, which is why it gets paired with a green frame rather than fighting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDamascus and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamascus is not stainless in the way a single steel is. The pattern comes from different steels forge welded and etched, and that difference is also why it will spot if you leave it wet. Wipe it down and keep a light oil on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Automatic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButton automatics are restricted in some states and cities, though a sub two inch blade clears a lot of the limits that stop a bigger one.
