Kershaw Launch 17 Automatic Knife Damascus/Gray

Introducing the Kershaw Launch 17, an out-the-side automatic knife designed for those who demand uncompromising performance, precision, and reliability. Crafted in the USA, this knife showcases the best in American engineering, delivering a tool that's both robust and refined, perfect for daily carry or tactical use.

At the heart of the Launch 17 is a 3.5-inch Damascus steel clip point blade, a material renowned for its superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The Damascus pattern not only adds an aesthetic appeal but also underscores the blade’s durability. Designed for rapid deployment, the Launch 17 operates with a simple push button mechanism that opens and locks the blade in place. This out-the-side automatic action ensures the blade is ready when you need it, providing quick access in critical moments. The push button lock offers a reliable and secure hold, giving you confidence in the blade's stability during use.

The handle of the Launch 17 is made from gray anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, providing a lightweight yet sturdy frame. To enhance grip and handling, especially in challenging conditions, Kershaw has integrated textured black G-10 inserts. These materials were carefully selected for their strength, durability, and ability to withstand the demands of everyday use. The combination of aluminum and G-10 ensures the knife remains comfortable in hand while offering the toughness required for heavy-duty tasks.

With a closed length of 4.95 inches and a weight of just 3.1 ounces, the Launch 17 is both compact and lightweight, making it an excellent choice for those who need a reliable tool without the bulk. The ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for flexible carry options, accommodating both right and left-handed users. Its sleek profile and comfortable size make it ideal for pocket carry or attaching to gear, ensuring it's always within reach when you need it most.

The Kershaw Launch 17 is more than just a knife; it’s a testament to American craftsmanship and precision engineering. Whether you're tackling everyday tasks or facing tactical challenges, this knife delivers the performance and reliability you need.
