Product Description

The Kershaw Launch 16 Raw (7105RAW) is a heavy-duty tactical automatic designed for those who demand "big-knife" performance in a high-speed format. Built on a oversized platform compared to the rest of the Launch family, the 16 is engineered for hard-use environments where grip, strength, and blade edge retention are non-negotiable. This industrial-looking edition pairs a Raw Aluminum handle with tactical black Trac-Tec inserts, offering a high-tech, functional aesthetic that is proudly made in the USA.

The 3.45-inch tanto blade is forged from CPM M4, a premier high-speed tool steel (60-62 HRC) legendary for its extreme toughness and resistance to chipping. Finished in a Gray Cerakote for added corrosion resistance and a non-reflective look, this blade is built to handle the most punishing cutting tasks. The raw aluminum handle provides a substantial feel without excessive weight, while the Trac-Tec grip inserts ensure your hand stays locked in place, even in wet or slippery conditions. With a simple press of the oversized firing button, the Launch 16 deploys with the heavy-duty power and reliability expected from a professional-grade tactical tool.

• High-Performance CPM M4 Steel: A top-tier tool steel engineered for maximum wear resistance and impact toughness, allowing the tanto edge to withstand heavy-duty use.

• Aggressive Tanto Geometry: The 3.45-inch blade features a reinforced tip for high-force piercing and a sharp secondary edge for versatile utility cutting.

• Maximum Grip Security: The raw 6061-T6 aluminum handle is outfitted with rubberized Trac-Tec inserts, providing a high-friction surface for total control in any weather.

• Oversized Push-Button Action: Specifically designed for easy operation—even with gloves—the recessed button fires the blade instantly and locks it securely for safe operation.

• Discreet Tactical Carry: Despite its robust size, the Launch 16 remains easy to carry with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip for ambidextrous tip-up positioning.
