Kershaw Launch 1 OTS Automatic Folding Knife Black Aluminum 3.4" BlackWash

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.
