The Kershaw OTS Auto Launch 14 delivers fast, reliable automatic deployment in a compact package built for everyday carry and hard-working utility. Designed and manufactured in the USA with American and global materials, this out-the-side automatic combines a rugged cleaver-style blade with an olive green aluminum and carbon fiber handle for a distinctive look and dependable performance.
The 3.375-inch cleaver blade is crafted from CPM 154 stainless steel, a premium blade material known for its balanced combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its plain edge provides a versatile cutting surface for everyday tasks, while the blackwash finish gives the blade a rugged, subdued appearance that helps conceal the marks that naturally come with regular use. At 0.121 inches thick, the blade has enough substance for demanding cutting chores without making the knife unnecessarily heavy.
Deployment is quick and straightforward thanks to the push-button automatic opening mechanism. Press the button and the blade fires into position, giving you rapid access when you need it. A push-button lock secures the blade during use, while the cleaver profile provides a broad, practical cutting edge well suited to common everyday jobs. The automatic action adds speed and convenience without compromising the knife’s compact, pocket-friendly design.
The olive green aluminum and carbon fiber handle gives the Launch 14 a rugged, modern appearance while helping keep the overall weight down. Measuring 0.475 inches thick, the handle provides a solid, comfortable grip without becoming unnecessarily bulky. At 4.375 inches closed and 7.75 inches overall, this automatic offers a useful 3.375-inch blade in a highly carryable package. Weighing only 3.2 ounces, it won't weigh down your pocket during a full day of work or everyday errands.
For versatile carry, Kershaw equips the Launch 14 with a reversible pocket clip designed for right- or left-handed, tip-up carry. That flexibility lets you set up the knife according to your preferred carry position while keeping it secure and readily accessible.
With its olive green aluminum and carbon fiber handle, blackwashed CPM 154 blade, fast automatic action, and compact dimensions, the Kershaw OTS Auto Launch 14 is a capable addition to any everyday carry lineup. Shop SMKW for premium knives and legendary brands.
