Consignment - Kershaw Launch 14, CPM-154 Steel

This is a consignment Kershaw Launch 14, the push-button automatic that brought a cleaver blade to Kershaw's Launch series. It's made in the USA, and Kershaw now lists it as discontinued. The 3.375" CPM 154 blade is hardened to 58–60 HRC and has a black-oxide BlackWash coating that helps hide use scratches.

The two-piece front handle combines 6061-T6 aluminum with a carbon fiber scale, and a finger choil lets you choke up for heavier work. Other details include a bronze anodized titanium tube spacer, an integrated backspacer with a lanyard hole, and a reversible tip-up pocket clip. The low-profile push button makes it harder for the blade to deploy by accident. This piece has an olive green aluminum handle with the carbon fiber front scale, as shown in the photos.

This is a single consignment piece and is sold as pictured. Comply with all local, state and federal regulations on buying, owning, carrying and transporting automatic knives.
