The Kershaw Launch 3 is a high quality automatic folding knife ideal for every day carry. It features a low profile push button that deploys the blade quickly and forcefully, and its slim aluminum handles provide a secure, comfortable hold. The CPM 154 steel blade is tough, easy to sharpen, and has superior edge retention, and the reversible pocket clip provides convenient carry. For a rugged, American made automatic knife, with Kershaw quality look no further than the Launch 3.
The Kershaw Launch 3 combines the speed and security of an automatic knife with Kershaw's dedication to innovative design and quality construction. The heart of this handy auto is the CPM 145 powdered metallurgy drop point blade. This unique alloy has a more even distribution of carbides for superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and an altogether tougher blade. It's finished in a black DLC finish for better blade protection and the contoured, anodized aluminum handles mean the Launch 3 is lightweight, and fits comfortably in the hand. Activated by a low profile push button, the Launch 3 is hard to activate accidentally, but is ready in a flash when you need it.
