Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 23 (7305) is a high-speed, precision-engineered automatic that blends sleek aesthetics with aggressive tactical performance. Defined by its dramatic trailing point blade and streamlined profile, the Launch 23 is built for those who demand a lightning-fast response from their EDC gear. The unique blade geometry provides an elongated cutting edge that excels at slicing and detail work, while the two-tone finish—featuring satin flats and stonewashed grinds—offers a custom-tier appearance straight from the factory.
Crafted in the USA, the 3.3-inch blade is made from CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, an elite American alloy favored for its exceptional toughness and edge stability. The black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle is precision-machined with deep horizontal grooves, providing a secure, ergonomic grip that remains comfortable during extended use. With a low-profile push-button activation, the Launch 23 fires with authoritative speed, making it a reliable companion for professional use and daily utility alike.
