Product Description

If you’ve been looking for the perfect entry point into the world of high-performance automatics, the Kershaw Launch 1 is "The One." This full-sized tactical folder combines a lightning-fast opening kick with premium materials and precision American manufacturing. Engineered for versatility, the Launch 1 features a large drop point blade that excels at everything from heavy-duty work tasks to tactical applications.

Proudly Made in the USA at Kershaw’s Tualatin, Oregon facility, the 7100BW is built with a 3.4-inch blade crafted from CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel. This elite steel is prized for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade is finished in Kershaw’s signature BlackWash™, which provides a non-reflective, broken-in look that masterfully hides scratches and fingerprints. The handle is constructed from lightweight, black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, contoured for an ergonomic, secure grip. Deployment is instantaneous via the recessed "bullseye" firing button, which also serves as a rock-solid button lock to keep the blade fixed during use.
