When speed, precision, and dependability count, the Kershaw Auto Launch 21 delivers without compromise. Built for serious everyday carry and tactical tasks, this automatic knife pairs high-performance materials with rapid deployment and a compact, low-profile design. Proudly made in the USA, it’s crafted for users who demand both strength and subtlety in a tool that’s always ready.
The heart of the Auto Launch 21 is a 3.45-inch CPM M4 clip-point blade, renowned for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its black working finish stands up to scratches and hard use, giving the blade a rugged, tactical look while maintaining peak performance for everything from precise cutting tasks to heavy-duty work.
Deployment is instant and reliable thanks to the automatic push-button mechanism, allowing smooth one-handed operation exactly when you need it. Whether slicing rope, opening boxes, or tackling precision cuts, the Auto Launch 21 responds immediately to a simple press of the button, putting control and speed in your hands.
The handle blends flat dark earth (FDE) G-10 scales with a black aluminum backspacer and matching hardware, offering a clean, two-tone profile that’s understated yet striking. G-10 is lightweight, tough, and provides a confident grip in wet or dry conditions. A black tip-up pocket clip ensures discreet, comfortable carry, keeping the knife ready without getting in the way.
Measuring 4.95 inches closed and 8.4 inches overall, and weighing just 2.6 ounces, the Auto Launch 21 feels balanced and nimble in hand. Every detail reflects American craftsmanship, making this automatic knife a reliable addition to any EDC rotation or tactical setup.
