About

The Launch 17 stands out with satisfying opening action, an easy-to-carry profile, and a tactical clip point blade for cutting work. This auto fires with authority using a push-button mechanism, which is surrounded by a textured G10 inlay. Integrated fingerguards on handle, top and bottom, keep fingers away from danger. And with long-lasting MagnaCut blade steel, this Launch promises a lifetime of cutting performance.

  • Made in the USA; traditional fighting knife styling with clip point blade
  • Premium CPM MagnaCut powdered metallurgy blade steel excels in edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance; black Cerakote coating for extra blade protection and hardness
  • Gray anodized aluminum handle is comfortably textured with G10 inlays
  • Low-profile push button makes it harder for blade to accidentally deploy; deep-carry pocket clip is easily reversible for left/right carry

Comply with all local, State, and Federal regulations regarding the purchase, owning, carrying, and transportation of automatic knives.

Please note that older models use CPM S35VN blade steel. Current production models are built with CPM MagnaCut.
