Product Description
Experience elite tactical performance with the Kershaw Launch 16 Olive & Black (7105OLBLK). This USA-made automatic is a purpose-built "work tank" designed for the most demanding environments. Combining a high-impact Olive Cerakote finish with a non-reflective black blade, the Launch 16 provides a rugged military aesthetic paired with some of the most advanced blade steel available today.
The 3.45-inch tanto blade is crafted from CPM-M4 super steel, a high-performance alloy renowned for its incredible toughness and industry-leading edge retention. To protect this high-carbon steel, Kershaw applied a durable Black Cerakote coating that enhances corrosion resistance and reduces glare. Designed for maximum control, the handle features high-traction black Trac-Tec inserts and a deep finger choil, ensuring a "locked-in" grip even in wet or slippery conditions. With aggressive jimping on the spine and a robust 0.16-inch blade thickness, the Launch 16 is ready to tackle heavy-duty piercing and slicing tasks with ease.
-
Ultra-Hard CPM-M4 Super Steel: Expertly heat-treated (60-62 HRC) to provide maximum wear resistance and toughness for prolonged, heavy-duty use.
-
Tactical Tanto Profile: The reinforced tanto tip is engineered for high-force piercing, while the plain edge provides clean, precise slicing across the entire length of the blade.
-
