Kershaw Launch 1 Earth Brown Aluminum BlackWash Automatic Knife 7100EBBW

The Launch 1 push button automatic knife from Kershaw Knives is tactical, practical and lightning fast. Clean lines and curves for days on the Launch 1. Outfitted with a BlackWash finished clip-styled blade and an Earth Brown anodized aluminum handle.

Brand new item directly from Kershaw Knives, USA.

Blade: Crafted in a large-bellied clip point style for every day slicing and more. It has a plain cutting edge shaving sharpened to just over three inches with the slightest harpoon-ish upper swedge grind. A black oxide BlackWash tumble finish and piercing point really set this blade off. It looks as great as it cuts. It fires via a bullseye-style button that's recessed to the flat of the handle making accidental firings as difficult as possible. Simply press the button in again to fold the blade to the closed position in the handle. 

Handle: Contoured aluminium handle scales with integrated backspacer are thick Earth Brown anodized and really lighten the carry load of the Launch 1. The slight finger groove and humped back fit the hand snugly. Kershaw laser-engraved the American Flag on the back of the handle. For easy every day carry, a tip up pocket clip comes affixed to the handle that can be reversed for left hand carry.

CPM-154: CPM-154 is a particle metallurgy version of 154CM that benefits from the refinement in the PM process providing it with an increase in toughness and easy of finishing. CPM-154 takes a very fine edge and is highly corrosion resistant. Edge retention is going to be on-par with CPM S30V while being easier to resharpen. A great all-around blade steel.
