KERSHAW LAUNCH

Shop this product — the KERSHAW LAUNCH is priced at $118.79 and brings high-end metallurgy into a slim, carry-friendly package.

Design and Materials

The Launch pairs a premium CPM 154 powdered metallurgy blade with a black DLC coating for low reflectivity and enhanced wear resistance. CPM 154 provides a uniform carbide distribution, which translates to exceptional edge retention and toughness in field use. For users who need a blade that holds an edge through hard chores or repeated cutting tasks, this steel is a clear benefit.

Deployment, Safety, and Ergonomics

The knife uses a recessed push-button automatic opening, designed with the button flush to the handle to reduce accidental deployment. Left-handed operators get a practical advantage: the design allows use of the index finger as an alternative deployment method. Durable anodized aluminum handles cut weight while offering a secure grip, and the reversible pocket clip plus a predrilled lanyard tie-off hole give adaptable carry options for both discreet EDC and duty carry.

Why these features matter

Black DLC limits glare during low-light operations and helps the blade resist corrosion. The compact, slim profile of the Launch makes it comfortable for deep-pocket carry without sacrificing reach when you need a full cutting stroke. For professionals who prioritize reliability, the recessed button and solid handle machining add layers of safety and controllability.
