Kershaw Knives

The Kershaw Launch 21 is a hard-hitting automatic folding knife built for demanding tasks and rugged environments. Featuring a stout CPM-M4 blade, this super steel delivers outstanding edge retention and toughness - ideal for heavy-duty use where performance matters. The drop point profile offers balanced utility for piercing, slicing, and controlled cuts, while the black PVD coating adds extra durability and corrosion resistance.

Its ergonomic aluminum handle is fitted with grippy G10 inlays, paired with oversized jimping for added control and confidence in hand. The Launch 21 deploys with lightning-fast action at the push of a button and carries securely thanks to a reversible deep-carry pocket clip. Proudly made in the USA, this auto knife is ready for whatever the job demands.

It kicks
Impressive, Kershaw is bringing it! Fires with authority! Seems very solid and coated cpm-m4 should be capable of some hard use. Harder use large knife that still comes in under our 3 and 1/2 inch legal limit.

Launch 21
One of the best in the launch series . The blade steel and shape are excellent and the handle fills the hand really well . The button lock is a little hard to find and could use a slight raise though but other than that I wouldn't change a thing about this knife . I carry it daily .

An Excellent Automatic Knife
This is my 3rd automatic knife. I have 2 Bokers (FRND and Karakurt). I like both of those, but I prefer this to both of those. To be fair, the FRND, is a more entry level auto, the Karakurt costs more unless you catch a sale, which I did. The thing that really stands out on the Kershaw launch 21 for me is the release spring power is amazing. It is also easy to fold the blade back into the handle with one hand. The blade shape and geometry is about perfect, and overall, the knife looks and feels amazing. You can feel the quality of this knife, and I think that it hits well above the price point.
