Product Description

The Kershaw Launch 17 (7951BLK) is a sophisticated modernization of the classic fighting knife, engineered for the high-intensity demands of today’s tactical enthusiasts. This USA-made automatic combines a sleek "coffin" handle aesthetic with state-of-the-art materials, creating a tool that is as visually striking as it is functionally superior. By incorporating CPM MagnaCut steel and textured G-10 inlays, Kershaw has delivered a Launch model that offers an uncompromising grip and elite-tier cutting performance.

The 3.5-inch tactical clip point blade is forged from CPM MagnaCut, the American-made "super steel" celebrated for its industry-leading edge retention, extreme toughness, and total corrosion resistance. The blade is finished with a non-reflective Black Cerakote coating, providing an extra layer of hardness and environmental protection. Powered by a high-torque spring, the Launch 17 fires with incredible authority at the press of the low-profile bullseye button. To ensure user safety during rapid deployment, the handle features integrated top and bottom fingerguards, keeping your hand securely away from the razor-sharp edge.

• Elite CPM MagnaCut Steel: A premium powdered metallurgy steel (60-64 HRC) that provides a lifetime of reliable cutting performance with virtually no risk of rust.

• Tactical "Fighting" Profile: The 3.5-inch clip point blade offers a versatile geometry perfect for both precision work and high-strength piercing tasks.
