KS7900GRYDAM: 7900GRYDAM Launch 7, Gray

Kershaw Knives

With its machined handle and integrated backspacer, the Launch 7, designed by Tim Galyean, has an industrial look that takes it out of the ordinary — way out of the ordinary.

With a long 3.75" clip point blade of Damascus, the Launch 7 offers a long, lean profile. The steel of this version is an attractive Damascus. The handle is highly sculpted for an attention-grabbing look. Machined contours on both handle top and bottom give the Launch 7 its modern, industrial aesthetic as well as ensuring a solid grip. The backspacer is fully integrated into the handle, adding to the Launch 7's solid feel and great look. The handle is built of aluminum for lighter weight and is anodized in gray, making it stand out from the rest of the Kershaw automatic line.

The Launch 7 opens with a push of a button and the blade locks into place, ready for use. To release the lock, push the button again and fold the blade back into the handle. The pocket clip is left/right reversible for convenient pocket carry.

Features

  • Push-button Lock: 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 our knives, it means the knife was made in Kershaw's Tualatin, Oregon manufacturing facility by skilled Kershaw knifemakers.

Like the Damascus blade better
This is the second Launch7 I've gotten. Lost first one mowing the back 40. It had the normal CPM154 steel blade. Loved it. Replaced it with the Damascus blade version. Like it better. Seems to sharpen easier and retains edge well.

My favorite things about this knife are the handle, the balance and the blade. The handle accommodates all four fingers with a choil for the first finger and the design fills the hollow in the palm of the hand providing a very secure grip while being of slim profile.The balance point is right behind the release switch so the handle tends to stay in the hand while still offering lively response to manipulation.The blade responds to a magnet so I assume the steel it is not of the stainless variety. The grain is looks good but also very different (and more affordable) than damascus from fifty years ago...or longer (I am not a metallurgist and I am just pleased as punch to have any kind of sharp or rifled steel). The blade exceeds my minimum length requirement and the spring release is very fast but it does not have excessive recoil. I cut some heavy cord and it went through it like a razor blade.Any knife I carry is primarily for potential self defense but in reality fulfills typical knife duty. I chose the Kershaw Launch 7 because of it's specifications and the unique design. I recommend this knife.
