Kershaw Launch 18 Automatic Folding Knife
The Launch 18 delivers speed, sharpness, and reliability in a compact package designed for serious everyday carry.
Blade Performance
CPM 154 Powdered Metallurgy Steel — This high-performance blade steel takes and holds an excellent edge while providing superior corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The full-flat grind produces a thin, slicey cutting geometry that sharpens reliably every time you need it.
The stonewashed finish serves a practical purpose: it helps conceal use scratches and maintains the blade's appearance through regular carry and use.
Design & Ergonomics
The Launch 18 combines form and function:
- Ergonomic, contoured handle — Shaped for confident grip and control during cutting tasks
- Gray anodized aluminum construction — Lightweight yet durable, with a professional appearance
- Ceramic bead-blasted titanium pivot trim ring — Adds refinement and durability to the blade pivot
- Integrated backspacer — Enhances handle structure and comfort
Deployment & Carry
The low-profile push button design makes accidental blade deployment unlikely, a critical safety feature for an automatic knife. The reversible, deep-carry pocket clip accommodates both right and left-hand carry, making the Launch 18 adaptable to your preferred carry method.
Made in the USA. This is a serious tool for those who demand speed and reliability.
