Kershaw Launch 1 Blackwash Automatic Pocket Knife - CPM Steel Blade, Aluminum Handle, Push Button - Length 8”

I have paid 3 times the price for knives like this. I have NEVER been so impressed. Fit, finish and blade are outstanding. This knife is slender in your pocket, but big enough for large hands. Deployment is smooth and powerful. AND made in the USA! Thanks to Kershaw for this great knife. Thanks to BUDK for delivering at a great price.

Just received this Kershaw a couple days ago and it is incrediably sharp out of the box. Being a person that needs the automatic opening due to a physical impairment it definitely does make the use of a pocket knife a lot easier. I've carried other brand name pockets but this by far rates as the best. It is tight, sharp, versatile and holds the edge. Kershaw was correct calling it the ONE. I got my son and grandson collecting knives over the years and when they saw this knife they could'nt put it down. They will be putting Kershaws in their collections. Highly recommended.

The blade opens smooth and cleanly and locks crisply into place. The lockup is very solid. I really like the depth of the 3+" drop point blade and the corrosion resistant finish. This blade came out of the box with the most wicked sharp edge I've ever come across out of the box. Now we'll see how well it holds the edge. 4 stars overall but I do have some dislikes. 1. The handles could get very slick when wet making it tough to keep a firm grip on the knife. 2. There are no serrations along the forward top end of the handles for your thumb to grip onto. 3. My last complaint is there is no hole for a lanyard. I think I'll keep it though!!
