Kershaw Launch 14 Cleaver BlackWash CPM-154 Carbon Fiber Automatic Knife 7850

The USA Made Kershaw Launch line of automatics delivers quality, performance, and style. The Kershaw Launch 14 introduces the popular cleaver blade profile to the line in their rugged BlackWash finish. The handle combines carbon fiber and gray aluminum for a functional and utilitarian daily carry automatic with plenty of visual appeal.

Brand new, directly from Kershaw Knives.

Blade: The tumbled BlackWash finish hides wear from heavy use which the CPM-154 cleaver blade is likely to see. Fast automatic action gives you instant access to the razor sharp cutting edge at the touch of a button while spine jimping and a generous choil provide optimal control in use. A thin stock and nearly full flat grind make this a slicing machine.

Handle: Lightweight, durable gray aluminum handle construction features milling for traction and style with a partial front scale of handsome carbon fiber. The handle has subtle curves and contoured edges for comfort and visual appeal and a bronze anodized titanium spacer for a pop of color.

Carries via a reversible stainless steel pocket clip.

CPM-154: A particle metallurgy (PM) version of Crucible 154CM that benefits from the refinement in the PM process. A great all-around blade steel, CPM-154 has D2 level edge retention, AEB-L level corrosion resistance and comparable toughness to other PM stainless steels with ease of sharpening/finishing.
