Launch 16
About
Enter the tactical cutting world with the Launch 16, featuring a partially serrated tanto blade and extremely high edge retention. This automatic opener withstands the toughest cutting tasks with a thick blade profile and high-end M4, a balanced super steel with superior hardness and toughness. The tanto blade shape is ideal for piercing cuts, and the partially serrated edge will easily saw through rope. Trac-Tec handle inserts, oversized jimping, and a finger choil allow you to grip the Launch 16 securely. This push-button rocket is all stealthy with a black anodized handle and a black Cerakote blade. Carry it comfortably on the go with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip. While discreet, the Launch 16 also makes a lot of noise with a standout blade and unbeatable ergonomics.
