Kershaw Knives

Got an automatic attraction? Then look into Kershaw's Launch 1. This automatic knife features CPM-154 blade steel, a strong opening kick, and is made-in-the-USA at Kershaw’s Tualatin, Oregon manufacturing facility.

The CPM154 powdered metallurgy blade steel has more uniform distribution of carbides—so it takes and holds an excellent edge. It also provides good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. To lighten the Launch 1's weight, the handles are durable anodized aluminum and are contoured to fit snugly in the hand.

The Launch 1 opens with a push button, which is recessed so that it is level with the flat of the handle. This is a safety feature and makes it harder for the knives to accidentally deploy. Nevertheless, automatic knives are dangerous and should be handled with extreme caution in all circumstances.

Features

  • Push Button Lock - Found on the Kershaw Folding Saw, it locks the saw blade open during use, then releases with the push of a button.
  • Made in the USA - When you see this on one of Kershaw's knives, it means the knife was made in Kershaw's Tualatin, Oregon manufacturing facility by skilled Kershaw knifemakers.
  • Reversible - Pre-drilled holes in the handle enable the user to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.

Cons: None
USA made fast opener
I love the olive green color and blade shape plus the blade is sharp. The handle feels good in my glove large size hand and opens with authority. I do wish there were some jimping on top for the thumb and there is a gritty feel when pushing the opening button but maybe that will wear in. The best part is that it is made in the USA.

CPM154
Be aware. This is NOT Magnacut. I purchased it just to find out which steel was being used. I like both steels, they seem comparable in use for my purposes. Great knife. Button is a little gritty out of the box, should become smoother with break in use. Fills my "Larger than average " hands nicely. Have a few launch series blades, this is definitely a work knife. Would recommend for a work blade. 10 out of 10!
