Get a dark tactical look with the Launch 6 automatic knife from Kershaw. This slimand ever-so-slightly wicked-lookingknife features premium CPM154 blade steel. This powdered metallurgy steel offers more uniform distribution of carbides so it takes and holds an excellent edge. It also provides good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. Black DLC coating adds non-reflectivity and enhances performance. Durable anodized aluminum handles lighten the Launch 6's weight and Kershaw machines them to provide a secure grip. This automatic knife opens with a recessed push button. We made the button level with the flat of the handle as a safety feature that makes it harder for the knives to accidentally deploy. Left-handers can use an index finger instead of the thumb to press the blade-release/lock button. The Launch 6 also has a reversible pocketclip and a pre-drilled lanyard tie-off hole. Automatic knives are dangerous and should be handled with extreme caution in all circumstances. Comply with all local, State, and Federal regulations regarding the purchase, owning, carrying, and transportation of automatic knives. Due to the many and varied Federal and State laws that govern the purchase, owning, and transportation of automatic knives, Kershaw Automatics will be sold only through authorized Kershaw dealers.

- PROS
- Well made durable knife with DLC coating and very good blade material you can't go wrong.
- CONS
I've seen this knife in different publications and never heard a single negative thing about it! Kershaw knives have always been one of my top 4 brands of knives and I'm really interested in purchasing the Kershaw Launch 6 as a pocket knife to go with my Eickhorn FK-2000. I also like Benchmade knives but they disappointed me when I found out that they are against the 2nd amendment. I guess Kershaw & Buck will be my favorite folding knives now.
