Kershaw's Launch 13 automatic pairs a Wharncliffe blade with a slim profile for pocket carry. CPM 154 steel holds an edge while the anodized aluminum handle stays lightweight and durable.
The Kershaw Launch 13 automatic knife represents thoughtful design in a compact package. It delivers full-sized cutting capability without sacrificing the slim profile that makes pocket carry effortless.
The Wharncliffe blade excels at fine, controlled work. Its slightly angled geometry provides surprising versatility for a specialized blade shape, making it equally at home with detail work or general cutting tasks. The two-tone finish adds visual interest while the CPM 154 powdered metallurgy steel does the real work—holding an excellent edge while resisting corrosion and wear.
The narrow profile and deep-carry pocket clip make this knife disappear in your pocket. An integrated lanyard hole provides additional security options. The low-profile push button minimizes accidental deployment while remaining responsive when you need it.
The anodized aluminum handle is lightweight yet strong, with sculpted contours that feel substantial in hand. A custom triangular pivot adds a distinctive touch while contributing to the knife's overall rigidity and reliability.
Kershaw's commitment to American manufacturing ensures quality control and support throughout the knife's service life.
