Kershaw Auto Launch 19 Automatic Knife Blackout Damascus AUKS7851DAM

The Kershaw Launch 19 is a bold automatic built for speed, strength, and standout style. Compact yet capable, this push-button folder features a 1.9" Damascus steel reverse tanto blade that’s both razor sharp and visually striking. With a cutting edge just under two inches, the Launch 19 is California-legal but packs all the punch of a full-size automatic. The blade deploys with Kershaw’s lightning-fast coil spring mechanism, locking up with authority and ready for hard use straight out of the pocket.

The handle is crafted from lightweight, black anodized aluminum, shaped for a solid grip and comfortable control. It’s rugged enough to handle real work, but slim enough to carry discreetly. At just 3.2" closed and weighing only 1.7 ounces, this knife disappears in your pocket until you need it. A deep-carry pocket clip rides tip-up for secure, low-profile storage, and a built-in lanyard hole gives you additional carry options.

Whether you’re looking for a compact EDC blade with bite or a high-performance auto with distinctive looks, the Launch 19 delivers. The contrast between the dark Damascus blade and sleek black aluminum handle gives it a modern tactical edge with just the right amount of elegance. Made in the USA, this knife reflects the quality and innovation that have made Kershaw a leader in automatic folders.
