Kershaw Launch Iridium FDE G10 OTS Auto Knife | CPM MagnaCut BlackWash AUKS7038FDEG

When you’re mid-task with one hand committed, a slow, two-step open isn’t just inconvenient—it breaks your rhythm. Whether you're stabilizing material or working in tight spaces, that hesitation costs time and precision. The Kershaw Launch Iridium removes that friction with a true ready-now response, delivering instant access the moment your thumb finds the button.

Once engaged, the blade’s performance feels deliberate and controlled. The CPM MagnaCut spear point bites into material with a clean initial grab, then transitions into a smooth glide through the cut. Its geometry reinforces the tip for confident piercing while maintaining a functional belly for slicing, giving you a range from fine detail work to heavier utility cuts. Even under sustained use, the edge holds its integrity, resisting wear and maintaining a consistent cutting feel.

This out-the-side automatic delivers a decisive, tactile snap through a high-tension internal spring. The recessed push-button trigger is easy to locate by feel while remaining guarded against accidental activation. Once deployed, the mechanism locks into a solid button lock with no play, creating a stable, confidence-inspiring platform that feels closer to a fixed blade than a folder.

Key Features

• Deployment Advantage: Push-button automatic action delivers immediate, one-handed readiness when workflow can’t pause.
• Edge Geometry: Spear point profile balances piercing strength with efficient slicing for versatile, controlled cuts.
• Maintenance/Durability: MagnaCut steel paired with BlackWash finish resists corrosion and masks wear from daily use.
• Portability: At just 2.9 ounces, it offers full cutting capability without adding bulk to your pocket.

The handle is built for control and comfort in motion. The Flat Dark Earth G-10 front scale provides subtle traction, while the black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum back adds structural rigidity. In hand, it feels locked-in without being aggressive, and in pocket, it carries slim and low-profile thanks to a reversible deep-carry clip that keeps it discreet until needed.
