Product Description
Enter the world of elite tactical cutting with the Kershaw Launch 16 (7105). This USA-made automatic is engineered for those who demand absolute reliability and maximum edge retention in high-pressure environments. Built with a thick, robust profile and a specialized CPM-M4 super steel blade, the Launch 16 is a "push-button rocket" designed to withstand the toughest piercing and sawing tasks without breaking a sweat.
The 3.45-inch tanto blade features a non-reflective Black Cerakote finish, offering superior corrosion resistance and a stealthy aesthetic. The partially serrated edge provides the versatility needed to saw through rope, webbing, and heavy-duty materials, while the tanto tip is optimized for high-force piercing. To ensure total control, the black anodized aluminum handle is outfitted with high-friction Trac-Tec inserts, oversized jimping, and a deep finger choil. Whether you're wearing tactical gloves or working in wet conditions, the Launch 16 provides a "locked-in" grip that is second to none.
