Kershaw 7050 Launch 20 Edc 3" Automatic Reverse Tanto Plain Satin Cpm Magnacut Steel Blade, Black/Gray Aluminum/Carbon Fiber Handle
The Kershaw 7050 Launch 20 is a premium automatic knife built for everyday carry, delivering the speed and reliability serious users demand. This 20th-generation Launch combines a lightning-fast automatic deployment with a refined, pocket-friendly profile that makes it equally at home in your work bag or on a night out. The 3-inch reverse tanto blade cuts sharp and stays sharp, while the lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber handle keeps the whole package nimble enough for daily tasks without the bulk.
Built with Kershaw's reputation for American manufacturing, the Launch 20 uses CPM MagnaCut powdered metallurgy steel—a high-performance blade material engineered for serious edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The two-tone finish pairs stonewashed flats with satin grinds, giving it a refined aesthetic that doesn't scream for attention. The black anodized aluminum frame with marbled carbon fiber inserts on both sides strikes that balance between durability and refined design that appeals to users who refuse to compromise on either.
The automatic mechanism here is thoughtfully designed: a low-profile push button sits in a position that reduces the risk of accidental deployment, while the deep-carry pocket clip is fully reversible for either right or left-hand carry. Whether you're cutting through rope, breaking down cardboard, or handling food prep, the Launch 20's speed and holding power make quick work of it. This is the kind of knife that earns its place in your pocket through honest, repeatable performance.
