Launch 18

Introducing the Launch 18 by Kershaw. Crafted in the USA, this automatic pocket knife is a proud member of Kershaw’s renowned Launch series. It sports a durable aluminum handle paired with a high-performance, low-maintenance CPM 154 steel blade. It borrows styling cues from the Launch 11 but boasts solid handle scales and a low-profile deep-carry pocket clip. The Launch 18 is an ideal option for those looking for a well-priced everyday carry knife that doesn’t compromise on quality.
