Product Description

The Kershaw Launch 17 7951 combines premium blade steel, automatic deployment, and a streamlined American-made design. Built for fast, dependable performance, this Launch Series automatic features a 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut clip-point blade with a black Cerakote finish and a lightweight gray aluminum handle.

The CPM MagnaCut blade delivers an outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its clip-point profile provides a versatile cutting edge with a precise tip, while the black Cerakote finish adds durability and a low-reflectivity appearance.

A push-button automatic mechanism provides rapid one-handed deployment. The gray anodized aluminum handle keeps the knife lightweight while providing a solid, comfortable grip. A secure button lock keeps the blade firmly in place during use, and the deep-carry pocket clip provides convenient everyday carry.
