The Kershaw Launch 17 OTS Auto Folding Knife is a modern tactical take on a classic fighting knife design. It features a 3.5-inch Damascus clip point blade, which is known for its intricate patterns and superior cutting performance. The blade is crafted from high-quality Damascus steel and has an acid-etched finish that adds both visual appeal and durability. The clip point blade shape enhances the knife’s piercing and slicing capabilities, making it versatile enough for tactical applications, outdoor use, and everyday cutting tasks.
With the push of a button, the Launch 17’s blade fires open with lightning-fast precision, thanks to its automatic deployment mechanism. The button is housed in a textured G10 inlay for added grip and control during operation. This smart ergonomic feature ensures the button is easy to locate, even in high-stress situations, while reducing the chance of accidental deployment. The handle is made from gray anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a strong and lightweight foundation. To enhance control, Kershaw integrated fingerguards on both the top and bottom of the handle, giving users extra protection and confidence during use.
The Launch 17’s sleek, anodized aluminum handle contrasts beautifully with its Damascus blade, while the G10 inlays add both style and functionality. Weighing in at just 3.1 ounces, this knife is easy to carry and handle. It has a deep-carry, reversible pocket clip, allowing for tip-up carry on either side, making it ideal for everyday carry (EDC) or tactical situations.
With a closed length of 4.95 inches and an overall length of 8.45 inches when open, the Kershaw Launch 17 is perfectly sized for those who need a knife that balances portability with serious cutting power. Designed for users who demand both performance and aesthetics, this knife will stand the test of time, offering a lifetime of reliable service.
