The Kershaw Launch 16 Automatic switchblade delivers tactical performance in a compact, American-made package. Built with premium CPM-M4 super tool steel, this tanto blade maintains exceptional edge retention and toughness while the gray Cerakote coating resists corrosion in demanding conditions. The raw 6061-T6 aluminum handle features Trac-Tec inserts, oversized jimping, and a finger choil for secure, confident handling. A low-profile push button deployment mechanism reduces accidental blade release, while the reversible deep-carry pocket clip accommodates both right and left-handed carry preferences. At 3.45" of cutting edge and just over 4 ounces, this knife balances capability with everyday portability. Whether you're a collector, tactical enthusiast, or working professional, the Launch 16 AUTO combines precision engineering with practical design—made in the USA.
