Kershaw Launch 18 Automatic Knife Blackout CPM 154 Spear Point/Aluminum AUKS7551BLK

Built for dependable performance and everyday readiness, the Kershaw Launch 18 Automatic Folding Knife delivers compact power in a refined American-made design. Its 2.79-inch CPM 154 stainless steel spear point blade offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness for demanding daily tasks. The black coated finish adds a rugged, low-profile look while providing additional protection against wear.

Deployment is quick and confident thanks to the out-the-side automatic action and low-profile push button. The button design keeps operation simple while helping reduce the chance of accidental activation. A black pivot trim ring adds a subtle visual accent that complements the knife’s clean, modern styling.

The handle is crafted from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and shaped for a secure, comfortable grip. Lightweight yet durable, the aluminum construction keeps the Launch 18 easy to carry while still offering the strength needed for real-world use. Black-oxide hardware completes the build, ensuring solid construction and long-term reliability.

A black deep-carry reversible tip-up pocket clip allows for discreet carry and easy access whether you're right- or left-handed. At just 4 inches closed and weighing only 2.3 ounces, this automatic folder slips easily into a pocket while remaining ready for work whenever it’s needed.
