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.
