The Kershaw 7850 Launch 14 Auto is a cleaver-blade automatic knife built for the user who wants serious cutting performance with a dash of style. If you're after a tactical auto that can handle real work—not just look good on the shelf—this is the knife that demands your attention. The 3.38" CPM 154 cleaver blade combines edge retention and corrosion resistance in a steel that's equally at home at the range, in the field, or on the job site. The BlackWash finish is purely practical: it hides the daily scratches and wear that come with honest use, so your knife looks intentional, not neglected.
What sets the Launch 14 apart is its thoughtful engineering. The two-piece front handle marries aluminum with carbon fiber for a balance of durability and weight, while the integrated finger choil lets you choke up and control the blade during heavy cutting tasks. A bronze anodized titanium tube spacer, reversible pocket clip, and lanyard hole round out the details—features that tell you Kershaw didn't cut corners on this one. The low-profile push button is designed to resist accidental deployment, a smart move on any automatic knife you'll actually carry and use.
Made in the USA, the Launch 14 Auto respects the serious responsibility that comes with owning an automatic. Before you buy, confirm that automatic knives are legal to own, carry, and transport in your state and locality—this knife demands compliance with all applicable laws.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kershaw Launch 14 legal to own where I live?
Automatic knife laws vary significantly by state and locality. Some states prohibit ownership altogether, while others allow carry only under specific conditions. Before purchasing, verify that automatic knives are legal to own, carry, and transport in your jurisdiction. We recommend checking your local and state regulations carefully.
What is CPM 154 steel, and how does it perform?
CPM 154 is a powdered metallurgy stainless steel known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It's a reliable choice for field and tactical use—it takes a sharp edge and holds it well without requiring exotic maintenance.
Can I use the finger choil for everyday cutting tasks?
Yes. The integrated finger choil allows you to choke up on the blade for better control and leverage during heavy cutting work, giving you more precision and power when you need it.
Why does the BlackWash finish matter?
The BlackWash coating isn't just aesthetics—it's functional. It hides the scratches and use marks that naturally occur during hard work, so your knife maintains a purposeful appearance even after regular use.
