Here at Adept Knives, we're excited to offer the Kershaw Launch 18, a lightweight and fast automatic knife. This knife is legal to carry in many places, but always be sure to check your local regulations before carrying any automatic knife.

Based on the information we found on the Kershaw website, the Launch 18 features a CPM 154 steel blade, known for its good balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The handle is constructed from gray anodized aluminum, making it both durable and lightweight. The Launch 18 weighs only 2.3 ounces, making it a comfortable choice for everyday carry.

Overall, the Kershaw Launch 18 sounds like a great option for those looking for a compact, lightweight, and fast automatic knife for everyday carry. Stop by Adept Knives today and see for yourself why the Launch 18 is a great choice for your EDC needs.

Please note that some federal laws and regulations apply to the purchase and carry of automatic knives. Be sure to check your local laws before carrying this knife.

PER FEDERAL LAW, AUTOMATIC & LUCHA KNIVES CANNOT BE SHIPPED THROUGH THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS). ANY POST OFFICE BOX ADDRESSES WILL BE CANCELLED FOR THESE ORDERS. ALL AUTOMATIC & LUCHA ORDERS WILL BE MOVED FROM USPS TO UPS GROUND IF USPS IS SELECTED FOR A PHYSICAL ADDRESS.

About

Sharp, light, and blazing fast, the Launch 18 boosts to the top of your wish list. Its spear point blade uses high-performance CPM 154 blade steel for a reliable cutting edge. The full-flat grind sharpens reliably every time for a thin, slicey edge. Use the Launch 18 effectively with the ergonomic, contoured design. We even added extra touches like a gray-anodized handle coating, a ceramic bead-blasted titanium pivot trim ring, and an integrated backspacer. A reversible, deep-pocket pocketclip makes it even easier to EDC this lightweight auto.
