Description
KS7550: 7550 Launch 11 AUTO
Kershaw Knives
Light, airy, and lightning-fast, the Launch 11 is destined to be high on your Want List. It shares high-performance CPM-154 blade steel and an anodized aluminum handle with the rest of the Launch series. But for the Launch 11, Kershaw gave the knife a straight profile and added touches like a bronze-anodized titanium pivot trim ring, an attractive handle cutout, and an integrated backspacer. A reversible, slimline pocket clip makes it even easier to EDC this lightweight auto.

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

My new EDC
Love this knife. Small and light enough for EDC (about the same weight as a Spyderco Delica). Big enough for most everyday jobs. Sufficiently tactical but its appearance is non-threatening. Blade is high quality and keeps an edge for a long time. Opening mechanism is reliable (important to keep it clean and lubed). The only con is the color. Black/dark grey makes it hard to see if you accidentally drop it or leave it on a cluttered bench or desk. Would be nice to see a new model in light blue.
