The Kershaw Launch 14 (Model 7850) is a USA-made, out-the-side (OTS) automatic knife featuring a bold cleaver-style blade. It is designed for users who want a heavy-duty tactical aesthetic combined with high-performance materials.
Design & Features
Tactical Cleaver Blade: The broad blade excels at slicing and chopping tasks. Its BlackWash™ finish is designed to hide scratches and wear from heavy use.
Premium Materials: It uses CPM-154 powder metallurgy steel, known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness.
Ergonomics: Features a deep finger choil that allows you to "choke up" on the blade for detailed work, along with jimping on the spine for added grip security.
Safety & Carry: The push-button is low-profile to prevent accidental deployment. It includes a reversible pocket clip (left/right, tip-up) and a bronze-anodized titanium tube spacer with a lanyard hole.
