Sleek Design, Fast Automatic Action

The Launch 23 expands Kershaw’s American-made automatic lineup with a clean, lightweight build and a distinctive blade style. Featuring a 3.38″ CPM-154 trailing point blade with a two-tone Black Cerakote and satin finish, this knife delivers both cutting performance and visual appeal. The push-button action snaps open with authority, while the button lock keeps it secure in use.
