Kershaw Launch 6 Automatic Knife

The Kershaw Launch 6 Automatic Knife delivers a compact, operator-ready blade designed for professionals who demand speed and reliability in the field. This single-action automatic features a premium CPM 154 powdered metallurgy stainless steel blade—the same steel trusted in tactical and law enforcement applications for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness across demanding environments. The black Cerakote coating protects the blade from corrosion while maintaining the slim, tactical profile that fits seamlessly into patrol gear or tactical loadouts.

At just 0.06 lbs and measuring 3 x 1 x 4 inches, the Launch 6 prioritizes discretion without sacrificing functional blade length or cutting performance. The reversible pocketclip accommodates left or right-hand carry, critical for uniform integration and operational flexibility. A pre-drilled lanyard tie-off hole enables positive retention during dynamic movement or equipment transitions. Made in the USA, this knife reflects American manufacturing standards and quality control that serious operators expect from automatic deployment mechanisms.

The Launch 6 serves law enforcement officers, military personnel, search and rescue teams, and tactical professionals requiring instant blade access without two-handed manipulation. Its slim design excels in confined spaces—vehicle interiors, tight quarters, or situations where one hand remains occupied. The CPM 154 steel maintains its edge through repetitive field use, reducing maintenance cycles during extended deployments. This is a no-nonsense cutting tool built for operational demands, not a showpiece.

The automatic knife category remains legal in most jurisdictions for military, law enforcement, and first responder use. Verify local regulations before purchase, as state and local knife laws vary. Kershaw's commitment to automatic production ensures this Launch 6 integrates into professional equipment systems where reliability and consistency are non-negotiable.
