The Kershaw Launch 13 auto knife is a compact carry that doesn't compromise on utility. Built around a 3.5" Wharncliffe blade, this automatic pairs a slim profile with genuine cutting versatility—the slightly angled blade geometry handles fine detail work and general-purpose cutting with equal confidence. If you're looking for an EDC auto that actually fits your pocket without bulk, this is the ticket.
The blade is CPM 154 powdered metallurgy steel, a proven choice that takes a sharp edge, resists corrosion, and holds up to regular use. The black anodized aluminum handle is sculpted and lightweight without feeling cheap; it's made in the USA and includes a deep-carry pocket clip that keeps the knife low and discreet. You'll also find a two-tone blade finish, an integrated lanyard hole for backup carry, and a custom triangular pivot that adds to the refined feel.
Kershaw equipped this auto with a low-profile push button that's recessed enough to prevent accidental deployment—a practical detail that matters when you carry daily. The Launch 13 is sold only through authorized Kershaw dealers, which keeps it in the hands of folks who know the product. Whether you're in the field, at the range, or just need a reliable blade within arm's reach, this is a legit auto that earns its place on your belt or in your pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kershaw Launch 13 a true automatic knife, and is it legal to carry?
Yes, the Launch 13 is a full automatic knife that deploys via a low-profile push button. Legality varies by state and local jurisdiction—federal law permits automatics, but some states and cities restrict them. Check your local laws before purchasing or carrying.
What's included with this knife, and does it come with a sheath?
The product information provided covers the knife and pocket clip. For details on what's included in the box or whether a sheath is part of the package, contact Bosque Outdoors directly.
How does the CPM 154 blade steel compare to other EDC knife steels?
CPM 154 is a powdered metallurgy stainless steel known for excellent edge retention, good corrosion resistance, and solid toughness—a reliable all-rounder for everyday carry and field use. It's a step up from basic stainless but more practical for outdoor work than ultra-hard specialty steels that demand frequent sharpening.
Will the Kershaw Launch 13 fit comfortably in a daily-carry pocket?
Yes. The slim profile and deep-carry pocket clip are specifically designed for discreet EDC. The narrow design and low-profile clip keep the knife from printing or creating bulk in your pocket.
