Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 14 (7850) brings heavy-duty cleaver performance to the legendary Launch automatic series. Combining a bold, aggressive blade profile with high-end handle materials, the Launch 14 is a tactical workhorse that refuses to be a "safe queen." Proudly Made in the USA, this automatic folder is designed for those who need a substantial cutting surface and a secure grip for demanding tasks. From its snappy push-button deployment to its sophisticated aesthetic, the Launch 14 is as functional as it is visually striking.
The 3.375-inch cleaver blade is forged from premium CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, ensuring elite edge retention and toughness for hard-use applications. The blade features a rugged BlackWash™ finish that hides scratches and wear, paired with a significant finger choil that allows you to choke up for precision control during heavy work. The handle is a two-piece masterpiece of black anodized aluminum and a high-end carbon fiber inlay, accented by a bronze anodized titanium tube spacer for a custom-tier look.
