Kershaw 7038 Launch Iridium Automatic 3.45" Folding Spear Point Plain Stone
The Kershaw 7038 Launch Iridium automatic folding knife brings reliable one-handed deployment to everyday carry and fieldwork. Built around a 3.45-inch spear point blade in premium CPM MagnaCut steel, this is the kind of knife that deploys the same way every time you need it—push the button, and you're ready. The spear point profile cuts through tasks cleanly, whether you're opening packages, processing game, or handling camp chores. MagnaCut steel holds an edge well, resists corrosion, and the working finish on the blade hides the scratches that come with real use, so your knife looks like it can handle whatever you throw at it.
The design keeps practicality front and center. A black-anodized aluminum handle feels substantial without excess weight, and the gray-anodized backspacer adds a refined detail while offering a lanyard hole for secure attachment. The low-profile push button is recessed enough to prevent accidental deployment while remaining accessible when you need it. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip lets you position the knife for either left or right-hand carry, and the whole package is made in the USA.
If you carry a knife daily, hunt, or work outdoors, the Launch Iridium delivers the balance of performance and control that separates a tool you trust from one you tolerate. This is automatic action that doesn't compromise on reliability or build quality.
