Kershaw Launch 20 - a lightweight automatic knife made of CPM MagnaCut powder steel.

Theknife has a 76mm long blade, made of CPM MagnaCut super stainless steel produced with powder technology. The main difference between CPM MagnaCut steel and other stainless steels is the amount of chromium.

The elimination of chromium carbides from the steel's composition has resulted in a fine microstructure, making CPM MagnaCut much easier to sharpen compared to steels with similar wear resistance. The absence of chromium carbides has not only improved the balance of strength and wear resistance, but also its resistance to corrosion.

CPM MagnaCut combines the strength of CPM-4V, the corrosion resistance of CPM-20CV, the retention of CPM-CruWear/ CPM-4V and an impressive hardness of as much as 64 HRC, making it now considered one of the world's best steels used in factory-made knives.

The Reverse Tanto profile blade has a uniform stonewashed matte finish, which effectively masks any scratches or abrasions to the blade from use.

Kershaw Launch 20 - a reliable OTS automatic knife

The most important element of the automatic knife, is its extremely comfortable and easy unfolding system. In an automatic knife, unfolding the blade requires only pressing a button, which is responsible for releasing the lock and activating the internal spring. Folding the blade requires pressing the button again and manually retracting the blade. Such functionality makes the "automatics" extremely popular among soldiers, uniformed service personnel and the rapidly growing group of EDC enthusiasts.

The release button is embedded in a milled cutout, so it does not protrude above the handle, which in turn effectively prevents accidental unfolding of the blade. Extreme caution and prudence are recommended when using the automatic knife.

Theknife has slim and straight liners made of anodized aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, which provide a firm grip. An element that gives the knife an elegant style is the decorative carbon fiber inserts. The anodized coating is resistant to fading, scratching and abrasion, which guarantees the knife's attractive appearance for a long time.

Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket is made possible by the Deep Carry clip, which can be flipped to the other side.

TheKershaw Launch 20 Folding Knife is certainly an option for those looking for a reliable EDC tool with the ability to fold out in an instant and with a classic look.
