The Kershaw Launch 18 Auto Folding Knife is designed for those who demand lightweight precision and quick deployment in a compact package. With a 2.79-inch drop point blade made from high-performance CPM-154 stainless steel, this knife offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, making it perfect for everyday carry and rugged tasks alike. The full-flat grind of the blade ensures a thin, sharp edge for superior slicing capability. Finished with a rugged stonewash, the blade resists wear and adds to the tactical appeal of this sleek automatic folder.
Opening the Launch 18 is fast and reliable, thanks to its push-button automatic mechanism. With just a press, the blade springs into action, locking securely in place for confident use. Its compact size and ergonomic design make it comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver, whether you’re performing precise cuts or more demanding tasks. The blade's spear point shape is ideal for piercing and slicing, giving you versatility in a variety of situations.
The handle is crafted from durable black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a strong, lightweight grip that fits comfortably in the hand. The contoured design ensures a firm hold, while the integrated backspacer provides structural stability and adds to the overall aesthetic. As a finishing touch, Kershaw has included a ceramic bead-blasted titanium pivot trim ring, which enhances both the appearance and smooth operation of the blade.
One of the standout features of the Launch 18 is its deep-carry pocket clip, which is reversible for tip-up right or left-handed carry, ensuring this knife stays securely in your pocket and ready for action. At just 2.29 ounces and 4 inches closed, the Launch 18 is easy to carry all day without adding bulk to your gear, making it the perfect companion for both professional and recreational use.
Proudly made in the USA, the Kershaw Launch 18 offers precision, style, and durability in a lightweight automatic knife.
