Kershaw Launch 18 Automatic Knife – CPM 154 Spear Point | 7551

Product Description

Compact, lightweight, and lightning-fast, the Kershaw Launch 18 is a premium American-made automatic designed for everyday carry. Built as part of Kershaw's acclaimed Launch Series, the 7551 combines high-performance CPM 154 blade steel, a sleek anodized aluminum handle, and a snappy push-button automatic action in a remarkably pocket-friendly package.

The 2.79" spear point blade delivers excellent piercing capability while maintaining plenty of cutting edge for daily tasks. Crafted from CPM 154 powder metallurgy steel, the blade offers outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. A stonewashed finish helps conceal wear from regular use while providing a rugged, working appearance.

At just 2.3 ounces, the Launch 18 disappears in the pocket. The gray anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle features ergonomic contouring, an integrated backspacer, and a low-profile firing button designed to reduce accidental deployment. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip completes the package for comfortable right- or left-hand carry.
