When selecting a tactical pocket knife for everyday carry and defensive use, material choices and deployment controls make the difference between a decent tool and a reliable partner. The KERSHAW LAUNCH is designed to blend high-performance metallurgy with practical safety features for users who need a dependable folder that carries comfortably and deploys consistently.
KERSHAW LAUNCH
High-performance CPM154 blade — what it delivers
The Launch 4s blade is made from CPM154 powdered metallurgy steel, a premium choice for edge retention, toughness, and wear resistance. CPM154’s uniform carbide distribution means the blade takes and holds an excellent edge longer than many stainless steels, and its corrosion resistance is well suited to field use. Kershaw adds a DLC coating for extra protection, reduced reflectivity, and a stealthy aesthetic that minimizes glare in tactical scenarios.
Handle, weight savings, and deployment safety
The handle and integrated backspacer are durable aluminum anodized in black to reduce weight without sacrificing structural strength. The Launch 4 opens with a recessed push button that sits flush with the handle—this is a deliberate safety feature that reduces accidental deployment while allowing fast, reliable opening when needed. For left-handed operators, the blade release lock button can be pressed with the index finger instead of the thumb, enabling ambidextrous function in dynamic situations. The single-position pocket clip carries tip-up for secure, consistent draw angles.
Tactical applications and daily carry
At a retail price of $102.99, the KERSHAW LAUNCH targets buyers who want a premium steel and purpose-built deployment in an EDC package. The combination of CPM154 steel and DLC coating favors users who perform cutting tasks regularly or who expect to maintain a sharp edge between touch-ups. The light aluminum handle and tip-up carry make it comfortable for everyday wear while remaining ready for defensive or utility use.
