Kershaw Auto Launch 1 Automatic Knife Blackwash Drop Point Magnacut/Blue and Black Aluminum AUKS7100GBLUBLK

The Kershaw Auto Launch 1 delivers hard-hitting automatic performance in a sleek, modern design built for dependable everyday carry. Precision engineering and clean styling come together in a knife that deploys fast, cuts hard, and carries comfortably whether you're on the job or tackling daily tasks.

A pushbutton automatic mechanism fires the blade open with authority. The same button also functions as a secure lock while the knife is in use, giving you confident control during demanding cutting work. It’s a straightforward, reliable system that makes the Launch 1 quick to deploy and easy to operate.

The 3.4" drop point blade is crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut steel and finished in Kershaw’s rugged BlackWash coating. MagnaCut offers exceptional edge retention, excellent toughness, and impressive corrosion resistance, making it one of the most advanced blade steels available today. The drop point profile provides a strong tip and versatile cutting edge suited for everything from slicing to detailed work.

The handle is machined from durable 6061-T6 anodized aluminum and finished in a striking blue and black ombre pattern that gives the knife a distinctive, modern look. Its lightweight construction keeps the knife comfortable in hand and easy to carry, while the integrated backspacer adds structural strength. A reversible tip-up pocket clip allows right or left-handed carry, and a lanyard hole adds another practical carry option.

At 4.6" closed and weighing just 4 ounces, the Launch 1 offers a solid feel without weighing down your pocket. Built in the USA, it reflects the quality, innovation, and performance Kershaw’s automatic knives are known for.
