Got an automatic attraction? Then look into Kershaw's Launch 1. This automatic knife features Alabama Damascus steel, a strong opening kick, and is made in the USA at Kershaw's Tualatin, Oregon manufacturing facility.

To lighten the Launch 1's weight, the handles are durable anodized aluminum and are contoured to fit snugly in the hand.

The Launch 1 opens with a push button, which is recessed so that it is level with the flat of the handle. This is a safety feature and makes it harder for the knives to accidentally deploy. Nevertheless, automatic knives are dangerous and should be handled with extreme caution in all circumstances.

The Launch 1's pocket clip is left/right reversible.
