Kershaw Launch 1 OTS Automatic Folding Knife Black Aluminum 3.4" BlackWash
The Kershaw Launch 1 OTS Automatic Folding Knife (7100BW) is a high-quality, USA-made automatic knife designed for everyday carry (EDC) and tactical applications. Its 3.4-inch drop point blade, crafted from CPM-154 stainless steel with a black oxide BlackWash finish, offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, toughness, and wear resistance due to its uniform carbide distribution. The blade deploys rapidly via a recessed push-button mechanism, ensuring quick, one-handed operation with a secure button lock for safety.
The handle, made from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, is contoured for a secure grip and features a stylish integrated backspacer with a lanyard hole and a laser-engraved USA flag on the back. Measuring 8.0 inches overall and weighing 3.9 ounces, it includes a reversible tip-up pocket clip for right/left carry. Handcrafted at Kershaw’s Tualatin, Oregon facility, this knife combines premium materials with a rugged design, ideal for EDC enthusiasts and professionals.
