Kershaw Launch 18 Automatic Knife – 2.79″ CPM-154 Black Spear Point Blade OD Green Anodized Aluminum Handle USA Made 7551OLBLK

The Kershaw Launch 18 OD Green (7551OLBLK) is a masterclass in lightweight tactical efficiency. Designed for users who prioritize speed, precision, and a discreet profile, this USA-made automatic packs premium materials into a “disappearing” 2.3-ounce frame. This specific iteration pairs a rugged OD Green anodized handle with a non-reflective black blade, creating a professional, military-inspired aesthetic that looks as good as it performs.

The 2.79-inch spear point blade is forged from CPM-154 powder metallurgy steel, an elite American alloy favored for its superior edge retention, toughness, and ease of resharpening. The blade features a full-flat grind, ensuring a slicey, high-performance edge that excels at detailed everyday tasks. The handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, contoured for an ergonomic fit, and accented with a ceramic black titanium pivot trim ring. With a simple press of the low-profile firing button, the Launch 18 deploys with the rapid, authoritative kick that has defined the Kershaw Launch series.
