The Kershaw Launch 17 Automatic Knife, 3.5-inch Cerakote Clip Point (brand part no. 7951) is a push-button automatic knife from Kershaw, built around a 3.5 inches S35VN blade ground into a clip point that thins toward the tip for precision work. That choice of steel brings a proven premium stainless steel that balances edge retention with easy sharpening, while the handle in gray anodized aluminum with black G10 inlays keeps the knife light in the hand without giving up durability. It also adds a textured G10 inlay around the push button for a sure thumb press and integrated finger guards on the handle to keep fingers clear of the edge. Deployment is fast and one-handed, ready the instant you need to put the blade to work.
