Kershaw Launch 14 Out-the-Side Automatic Knife Blackwash/Carbon Fiber AUKS7850

The Kershaw Launch 14 is built for those who expect speed, strength, and dependable performance from every carry. Proudly made in the USA, this out-the-side automatic combines clean modern styling with hard-working capability, making it equally at home in the pocket of an everyday user or a serious knife enthusiast.

Its 3.37" CPM 154 stainless steel cleaver blade delivers the toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance that have made this premium steel a favorite among American knife makers. The broad cleaver profile handles slicing, chopping, and utility work with confidence, while the rugged BlackWash finish helps conceal the marks and scratches that naturally come with regular use, keeping the knife looking ready for action.

Fast deployment comes from Kershaw's reliable push-button automatic mechanism, putting the blade into action instantly with one hand. A secure locking system keeps the blade firmly in place during demanding cutting tasks, giving you confidence whether you're tackling work around the shop, breaking down boxes, or handling everyday cutting chores.

The handle pairs lightweight 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with a carbon fiber front scale for an ideal blend of durability, reduced weight, and refined style. The gray anodized aluminum frame provides exceptional strength, while the carbon fiber adds visual appeal and a secure grip without unnecessary bulk. At just 3.2 ounces and measuring 4.37" closed, the Launch 14 carries comfortably all day. An ambidextrous stainless steel tip-up pocket clip accommodates both right- and left-handed users, and the integrated lanyard hole offers additional carry options.
