Kershaw Launch 17 Automatic Folding Knife 3-1/2" Clip Point Blade Grey

The Kershaw Launch 17 Automatic Folding Knife with 3-1/2" Clip Point Blade in Grey delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact, field-ready package. Built for operators who demand fast deployment without compromise, this automatic folding knife fires with authority via a tactile push-button mechanism, making it an essential tool for tactical professionals, LEOs, and serious outdoor enthusiasts who require immediate blade access in high-stress situations.

The 3-1/2" clip point blade is forged from S35VN stainless steel, a premium tool steel renowned for edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance—critical properties for blades that must perform across varied environments and climates. The push-button actuator is surrounded by textured G10 handle inlay, providing secure indexing and control even under wet or high-stress conditions. Integrated fingerguards on the handle top and bottom position fingers safely away from the blade path during deployment and cutting operations, reducing the risk of accidental contact during rapid-draw scenarios.

This automatic knife is purpose-built for professionals who value a low-profile carry platform. At 0.25 lbs and measuring 5.3" closed, the Launch 17 balances cutting capability with concealability—ideal for patrol duty, emergency response, tactical training, and field operations where traditional folding knives are too slow. The clip point geometry excels at precision cutting tasks while maintaining structural integrity for moderate prying and utility work. Made in the USA, this Kershaw automatic knife represents a lifetime investment in cutting reliability.
