Kershaw Knives

Cleaver blade action comes to Kershaw's automatic series with the Launch 14. Grip the auto securely with the two-piece aluminum and red carbon fiber front handle. While the flashy red carbon fiber screams, "look at me," the Launch 14 is far from a safe queen. A finger choil allows users to choke up on the blade during heavy work tasks. The stonewashed finish hides use scratches after a hard day's work. Other details tie it all together, including a bronze anodized titanium tube spacer, a reversible pocket clip, and an integrated lanyard hole. But it's the tantalizing cleaver that begs Kershaw fans to press that button again and again.

A Uniquely Unique Launch
I've had my launch 14 for about three months now, and it's definitely one of my favorite knives. That's an impressive feat considering I have a strong preference for manual knives. Definitely my favorite part of this knife is the way it looks, like a tactical cleaver. It's my only blade in CPM154, and was another reason for my interest in it. The knife is surprisingly light for it's size and although I've heard reports of the springs failing, I've had not a single misfire in three months. If you don't own other blade shapes, I wouldn't recommend a cleaver as your only knife of choice. That being said, the one thing I'd change is that it seems to have a unique pocket clip, as it's not a fan favorite in the least.
