Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 18 OD Green (7551OL) is the ultimate EDC solution for those who demand a knife that is "sharp, light, and blazing fast." This USA-made automatic delivers premium performance in a compact, 2.3-ounce package. By combining the classic aesthetic of an Olive Drab Green handle with a rugged stonewashed blade, the Launch 18 offers a tactical yet sophisticated look that fits perfectly into any collection or daily rotation.
The 2.79-inch spear point blade is precision-crafted from CPM-154 powder metallurgy steel, a high-end American alloy known for its superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Featuring a full-flat grind, the blade is engineered for exceptional slicing performance. The handle is built from dark green anodized aluminum, contoured for an ergonomic grip, and elevated with premium details like a ceramic black titanium pivot trim ring and an integrated backspacer. With a simple press of the low-profile button, the Launch 18 deploys with the rapid, authoritative action that has made the Launch series a modern classic.
