Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 21 (7106) is a heavy-duty, American-made automatic folder engineered for maximum durability and high-performance cutting. Merging premium materials with a rugged tactical aesthetic, the Launch 21 stands out with its military-inspired Flat Dark Earth (FDE) handle and high-traction black G-10 inlays. Designed for professionals and EDC enthusiasts who demand more from their tools, this knife delivers authoritative deployment and exceptional edge stability in any environment.
At the core of the Launch 21 is a 3.45-inch drop point blade forged from CPM M4 tool steel. This elite powdered metallurgy steel is legendary for its extreme toughness and superior wear resistance, allowing the blade to maintain a razor-sharp edge through the most grueling tasks. The non-reflective Black PVD finish adds an extra layer of protection while maintaining a low-profile look. With a simple press of the push button, the blade fires with lightning speed, while the ergonomic, multi-textured handle ensures a rock-solid grip even when wearing gloves.
