The Kershaw Launch 18 Auto Folding Knife is a compact and reliable out-the-side automatic knife designed for speed and precision. Its 2.79-inch spear point blade, crafted from high-performance CPM-154 stainless steel, offers exceptional edge retention and durability. This premium steel is known for its toughness, corrosion resistance, and ability to hold a fine edge, making the Launch 18 a practical tool for everyday carry (EDC) and a wide range of cutting tasks.
The stonewashed spear point blade is designed for versatility, providing strength for piercing cuts and a sharp edge for clean slicing. The full-flat grind ensures a thin, precision edge, while the stonewashed finish helps conceal wear and tear, keeping the blade looking sharp after heavy use. The automatic deployment is lightning-fast, triggered by a simple push-button mechanism that locks the blade securely into place, ensuring safety and reliability in use.
The Launch 18’s handle is made from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a combination of strength and lightweight performance. Its ergonomic, contoured design fits comfortably in the hand, providing a secure grip for extended use. Kershaw has also incorporated a sturdy integrated backspacer, enhancing the knife’s structural integrity. The fully blacked-out aesthetic gives the knife a sleek, tactical appearance, making it as stylish as it is functional.
Weighing just 2.29 ounces, this knife is ultra-light, ensuring it won’t weigh you down. The reversible deep-carry pocket clip allows for discreet, tip-up carry, whether you’re right or left-handed. With a slim profile and comfortable size, the Kershaw Launch 18 is an ideal EDC knife, perfect for those who need a dependable tool that can handle a variety of tasks.
Proudly made in the USA, the Kershaw Launch 18 combines rugged materials and precision engineering in a highly functional automatic knife.
