Kershaw Launch 10 Hawkbill Gray Aluminum Stonewashed CPM-154 Automatic Knife 7350

The Launch 10 (nicknamed The Claw) is a compact, push button automatic knife from Kershaw Knives that punches well above its weight. The Launch 10 is a pointy little backup that looks good, acts fast and has a minimal footprint for carry, perfect for the pocket, pouch, pack or purse. This version comes with a Gray anodized aluminum handle and stonewashed CPM-154 stainless steel blade.

Brand new, directly from Kershaw Knives, USA.

Blade: The pointy Hawkbill profile is useful for everyday slicing and piercing tasks. It has a plain cutting edge that is razor sharp and just under two inches in length with a long upper flat for that claw look. The sub-2″ blade length makes this a fully California Legal automatic as well. Heavily tumbled, the stonewashed finish looks great and hides wear from use. A black push button recessed into the flat of the handle deploys the blade and makes accidental firings highly unlikely. Simply press the button in again to fold the blade to the closed position in the handle.

Handle: Contoured aluminum handle scales feature a stylish and comfortable design. Machined with an integrated back spacer the handles are anodized Gray offering a striking, lightweight and durable platform. The pommel end is squared for a solid finger rest with a milled hole for lanyard attachment. Kershaw laser-engraved the American Flag on the back of the handle denoting USA Production.

Carries via a reversible, tip-up, deep carry stainless steel pocket clip.

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.
