The Kershaw Launch 6 Automatic (7800OLBLK) is a USA-made automatic folder built for everyday carry and demanding use. It deploys a 3.75″ CPM-154 stainless steel drop-point blade with a Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating via an ambidextrous side-button mechanism, providing instant one-hand access with a liner lock holding it securely open.
CPM-154 is a premium powder-metallurgy stainless that punches above its class — excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability that justifies the Launch series price point. The DLC finish adds hardness and abrasion resistance while nearly eliminating reflectivity, making this a practical choice for low-profile work. The OD Green 6061-T6 aluminum handle is lightweight, milled for grip, and built to hold up over years of pocket carry. A reversible deep-carry clip provides left- or right-hand tip-up carry that sits low and stays put.
The Launch 6 is Kershaw’s sweet spot in the Launch line — long enough to be genuinely useful, compact enough for daily carry.
