Kershaw Launch 18 Automatic Folding Knife 2-8/10" Spear Point Blade Grey

The Kershaw Launch 18 Automatic Folding Knife with 2-8/10" Spear Point Blade in Grey is engineered for professionals who demand speed, precision, and reliability in their daily cutting tasks. Whether you're breaking down packaging on a job site, performing roadside maintenance, or managing shop tasks, this automatic knife delivers deployment velocity that rivals manual alternatives while maintaining the compact profile necessary for work environments. The spear point blade geometry makes this design exceptionally versatile for slicing, piercing, and controlled cutting applications where precision matters as much as speed.

Built with CPM 154 high-performance stainless steel, the Launch 18 blade maintains a thin, aggressive edge that sharpens cleanly and reliably every time you take it to a honing surface. The full-flat grind geometry reduces drag through material and creates the slicey cutting action preferred by technicians and tradespeople who work with rope, hose, gaskets, and synthetic materials regularly. At just 0.15 lbs, the lightweight construction ensures minimal fatigue during extended use, while the grey finish resists corrosion and reduces glint in varied lighting conditions—critical for professionals working in engine bays, garages, and field environments where durability cannot be compromised.

Mechanics, automotive technicians, and field service professionals benefit most from the Launch 18's combination of speed and control. The automatic mechanism eliminates fumbling during critical tasks, and the ergonomic co-molded handle ensures secure grip even when hands are damp or wearing work gloves. Pocket clip design and compact folded dimensions (2.4 x 1.25 x 4.9 in) make this knife ideal for cargo pants, tool belts, and shop aprons where space is limited but capability cannot be sacrificed.
