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.

Snappy Auto
Kershaw hit a homerun with this auto. From the PVD coated M4 blade to the well placed button, it is an excellently built knife.

I like it
Rock solid knife. Kershaw did a great job on this one. It’s a little larger than I usually carry but not by too much and for what it is it’s nicely light weight. Takes a little getting used to the button especially when wearing gloves but not an issue. The more I carry and use this Kershaw the more I love it.

Comfortable
Best value for an automatic comfortable to carry. My only issue is I wish the blade was longer more like the 16’s length

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.

Launch 21
It's a very nice knife. I was in need of a new EDC, and this fills that space perfectly. I was a little concerned about not having a safety, but accidental deployment is not a concern with the Launch 21. This thing is very sharp right out of the box.

Great EDC
Great knife for edc. Just the right balance of size and weight for my edc use. It has the feel of a much more expensive knife at a very reasonable price.Quality materials and workmanship.

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 .
