Launch 13

The Kershaw Launch 13 is a slim, fast-deploying automatic knife engineered for professionals who demand precision cutting performance without sacrificing pocket carry practicality. Designed for law enforcement, military personnel, and tactical professionals, this knife bridges the gap between minimalist EDC compactness and full-sized blade utility.

Its rapid deployment and refined ergonomics make it an ideal choice for high-stress environments where both speed and dexterity matter. The Launch 13 features a Wharncliffe blade geometry—a design favored across military and law enforcement circles for its flat cutting edge and subtle upward curve near the tip. This profile delivers exceptional control for precision work such as rope cutting, material separation, or detailed tactical tasks.

Tactical and law enforcement users will appreciate the Launch 13's reliability during rapid-deployment scenarios where milliseconds count. First responders benefit from the quick-access clip geometry and blade-out readiness, while military personnel value the Wharncliffe blade's proven cutting efficiency in survival, bushcraft, and tactical applications.
