The Launch 17 represents Kershaw's commitment to delivering a compact, tactically-oriented cutting tool that performs with authority. This automatic folder combines satisfying opening action with a practical, easy-to-carry profile that works equally well in the field or as an everyday carry option.
Blade Design and Performance
The 3.5-inch clip point blade is forged from CPM S35VN steel, a premium stainless steel known for exceptional toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention. The blade features a black Cerakote coating that provides additional protection and hardness, ensuring long-term durability even with regular use.

The push-button mechanism fires with authority and precision. The low-profile design makes accidental deployment unlikely, while the textured G10 inlay surrounding the button provides positive control and feedback. Integrated finger guards on both the top and bottom of the handle keep your fingers safely away from the blade path during operation.
Handle and Carry
The gray anodized aluminum handle is comfortably textured and reinforced with G10 inlays for improved grip and durability. The deep-carry pocket clip is easily reversible, accommodating both right and left-hand carry preferences.
Made in the USA
