Kershaw Launch 1 Push-Button Automatic Knife - 3.40" CPM-154 BlackWash Drop Point Blade - King's Camo Anodized Aluminum Handles (7100KC)
Overview & Heritage: The Kershaw Launch 1 (7100KC) is a high-performance, rapid-deploying automatic folding knife built for tactical operators, duty personnel, and everyday carry enthusiasts. Proudly manufactured in Tualatin, Oregon, USA, this eye-catching edition pairs Kershaw's iconic Launch 1 chassis with a striking King's Camo patterned handle and a rugged BlackWash blade finish. Purpose-engineered for lightning-fast push-button deployment, supreme ergonomic control, and heavy-duty field utility, the 7100KC delivers exceptional tactical authority in a sleek, low-profile footprint.
Blade & Performance: Featuring a versatile 3.40-inch drop point blade forged from high-grade CPM-154 powder-metallurgy stainless steel, the 7100KC provides outstanding edge retention, high toughness, and top-tier corrosion resistance. The blade is treated with Kershaw's proprietary BlackWash finish, which provides a non-reflective, pre-worn tactical look that effortlessly masks scuffs and scratches from heavy use. Fired instantly via a low-profile integrated push-button lock mechanism, its full-flat grind and strong tip excel at heavy slicing, piercing, cordage cutting, and detail utility tasks.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: The handle scales are precision-machined from lightweight, high-strength 6061-T6 billet aluminum, dipped in an authentic King's Camo pattern for effective field camouflage and distinctive styling. Sculpted with deep finger contours, a integrated thumb ramp, and strategic jimping, the handle delivers an unshakeable, ergonomic grip that sits naturally in hand during hard work. Powered by a heavy-duty coil spring and anchored by a recessed push-button lock that prevents accidental firing, the knife includes a reversible, low-profile deep-carry pocket clip configured for tip-up transport.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
CPM-154 is a premium powder-metallurgy stainless steel offering excellent natural corrosion resistance and edge longevity. Keep the automatic push-button mechanism and coil spring operating at peak velocity by periodically clearing out pocket lint and debris using compressed air, followed by a single drop of high-grade synthetic pivot lubricant into the button housing. Wipe down the BlackWash blade with a soft microfiber cloth, and clean the anodized aluminum handle scales using warm water and mild dish soap as needed.
