The Kershaw Launch 18 7551 packs premium materials and USA-made automatic performance into an exceptionally compact EDC package. Press the button and its 2.79-inch CPM 154 blade deploys quickly, while the stonewashed finish helps give the blade a clean, understated appearance.

The gray anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle keeps the Launch 18 strong without weighing it down, and Kershaw adds a ceramic bead-blasted titanium trim ring for a premium finishing touch. At only 2.3 ounces and 4 inches closed, it disappears easily into a pocket, while the reversible deep-carry clip accommodates right- or left-handed tip-up carry.

For customers wanting a small, lightweight American-made automatic, the Launch 18 delivers the speed of Kershaw's Launch series without the size and weight of a full-size auto.
