Kershaw Launch 19 7851
I own a few Launches, but this one is my favorite thus far. I just love the overall look of this knife. It has a very snappy release. The CPM154 blade is very sharp and looks awesome with the 2 tone. Absolutely no blade wabble and centering is perfect. Great price for a quality auto. Glad I got it! Thanks

It's a Keeper
This knife is quite light weight and might be coolest looking of the dozen or so everyday carry pocket knives I've collected. The automatic open button is textured and raised slightly above the level of the handle, which aides in finding it by touch. It snaps open with authority, and the same button releases the lock for closing. The G 10 scale panel has just the right amount of texture to not be slippery like some knives with smoother scales. I particularly like the bottom of the blade which is notched for a finger on one side and has shallow teeth on the other side for thumb placement. Came super sharp, time will tell how it holds its edge. Is it worth that much money? The pocket clip is a little shorter than I prefer. Since it is made in the USA, its probably a fair price., but not a bargain.

Great Knife
I use this as my new EDC. Not too heavy, but not too small. Good spring. Could use an easy lock button but I guess they do not care about safety. Good price, replaceable if lost unlike some other brands. Good quality. I like it.

The same Launch quality. I gave it a 4 because the pocket clip is very tight. Other than that, it's great.

Kershaw 7851 Launch 19 AUTO
This knife is my EDC today. I like the snappy button unlock, but the knife can jump out of your hand if you don't secure it first. The scales are very strong and will stand up to very hard use. I did have a problem with the handle. The edges were very sharp and cut my thumb when I shoved the knife into my pocket. Kershaw should have chamfered the edges so they would not be so sharp. To fix this, I filed down all the edges so they were smooth and round. Now the edges are safe and do not cut my thumb. The blade is sharp and does not wobble. So far, my use has been to cut boxes and paper. The CPM-154 blade works just fine. The design and look of the knife are modern and look very nice. I got a very good deal on this Launch, and I am very happy with the purchase.
