The Launch 23 represents Kershaw's commitment to combining practical utility with refined aesthetics. This automatic folder delivers the speed and reliability you need in a package that looks as good as it performs.
Blade Design and Steel
The trailing point blade geometry makes this knife equally at home in the field or on the workbench. Kershaw selected CPM 154 stainless steel for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. The blade features a distinctive two-tone finish: a black Cerakote spine contrasts with a satin-finished grind, creating visual depth while serving practical purposes.
Handle and Ergonomics
The black anodized aluminum scales provide a lightweight yet durable foundation. Machined grooves cut into the handle deliver two benefits: they improve grip security during use and add visual interest to the overall design. The ergonomic profile ensures comfortable handling during extended use, whether you're working outdoors or performing everyday tasks.
Deployment and Reliability
Press the low-profile button and the blade deploys instantly—this is what automatic knives do best. The locking mechanism engages with strength and reliability, holding the blade securely in the open position. This combination of speed and dependability makes the Launch 23 a trusted choice for those who value both performance and style.
