Great Kinde
Was out of stock but KnifeCenter still got it to me very quickly. Great knife. Gotta love a magnacut auto for under $200! Centering is spot on as well as the grind. Perfect size for me for an edc. I have larger hands and this fits my grip perfectly! Would highly recommend this knife and KnifeCenter. Great experience all around!

Impressed
Just got this, but so far I am very impressed with the overall build quality. The blade opens with a nice snap, the handles feel good in my hand. Very solid overall, and of course MagnaCut steel too!

Launch iridium auto USA Flag
Bought for my collection of flag themed knives. Kershaw never disappoints, from their quality, fit and finishes and choice steels is right on. If you’ve never owned one you need to change that now!

Fun and Functional
I've only had it in my pocket for a week or so. The finish on the knife is excellent! I love the flag motif.
The knife opens with authority. The button is a little stickier than I have experienced on other Launch series out of the box. A little lube and a lot of repeated opening is starting clean that up, though.
The biggest drawback is that the aluminum handle is a little slick and the knife wants to jump out of my hands when I open it. I could have opted for the grippier g10 handles, but I really wanted the cool graphic so the tradeoff is worth it.
The clip screws fit flush with the clip, which is excellent. I do wish the clip itself was sunk into the scales (ala Banter) for an even smoother glide onto my pocket.
Blade was sharp out of the box and perfectly centered.
Overall, it's a great knife for the price.

Wouldn’t cut paper
No thrilled how sharp the knife came from factory. Wouldn’t cut copier paper
