Then look into Kershaw's new Launch 1. This automatic knife features CPM154 blade steel a strong opening kick and is made-in-the-USA at Kershaw's Tualatin Oregon manufacturing facility.<br/><br/>The CPM154 powdered metallurgy blade steel has more uniform distribution of carbides-so it takes and holds an excellent edge. It also provides good corrosion resistance wear resistance and toughness. The blade is finished with our BlackWash finish for rough-and-tumble good looks and an additional measure of blade protection.<br/><br/>To lighten the Launch 1's weight the handles are durable anodized aluminum and are contoured to fit snugly in the hand.<br/><br/>The Launch 1 opens with a push button which is recessed so that it is level with the flat of the handle. This is a safety feature and makes it harder for the knives to accidentally deploy. Nevertheless automatic knives are dangerous and should be handled with extreme caution in all circumstances.<br/><br/>The Launch 1's pocketclip is left/right reversible. For left-handed use use your index finger instead of your thumb to press the blade-release/lock button.<br/><br/>Comply with all local State and Federal regulations regarding the purchase owning carrying and transportation of automatic knives.<br/><span style='font-weight:bold;'>\n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Made in the USA\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Handle: Anodized aluminum\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Steel: CPM154 black-oxide BlackWash ™ finish\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reversible pocketclip (left/right)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Push button lock release\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Automatic push button open\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Overall Length: 8 in.
