Description
The Kershaw 7951 Launch 17 Automatic features a 3.50" S35VN blade, clip point, plain edge, G-10 handle, black finish.
The blade is S35VN, a refined powder steel that keeps the edge retention of S30V while being meaningfully easier to sharpen. G-10 is a fiberglass laminate: light, dimensionally stable, and grippy even wet.
A blade in this range handles heavier everyday tasks and light outdoor work while still carrying comfortably clipped in a pocket.
Carry laws are set locally as well as by state, and a 3.5" blade is legal to carry in many places and not in others – check your state and city rules before you carry it. Knives ship directly to you with no FFL transfer and no background check, unlike a firearm. Keep the blade dry and the pivot clean, and touch the edge up on a strop or fine stone before it gets properly dull – it is far less work than bringing back a blunt edge.
The Launch 17 stands out with satisfying opening action, an easy-to-carry profile, and a tactical clip point blade for cutting work. This auto fires with authority using a push-button mechanism, which is surrounded by a textured G10 inlay. Integrated finger guards on handle, top and bottom, keep fingers away from danger. And with long-lasting S35VN blade steel, this Launch promises a lifetime of cutting performance. Includes pocket clip.
