Product detailed description
The Kershaw Launch 22 is a modern, precision-crafted automatic knife manufactured right here in the USA. This model perfectly combines compact dimensions for everyday carry (EDC) with today’s finest materials. Its main feature is a blade made from revolutionary CPM MagnaCut powder steel, which offers a previously unthinkable combination: extreme corrosion resistance, superior edge retention, and tremendous toughness. The dark BlackWash finish also effectively masks scratches from everyday use.
The handle, made of aerospace-grade anodized 6061-T6 aluminum in an earthy Dark Earth shade, ensures the knife is exceptionally lightweight, durable, and has a slim profile. Thanks to its thoughtful ergonomics, the knife fits perfectly in your hand, and you’ll hardly notice it in your pocket. A reliable automatic mechanism ensures lightning-fast opening; it is activated by pressing a recessed button, which also serves as a secure Button Lock. The knife is, of course, equipped with a pocket clip for discreet carrying.

The American brand Kershaw has earned international recognition through modern technology, user-friendly design, and long-term durability. Its range covers everyday carry pocket knives as well as kitchen knives built for frequent, demanding use. Practical performance stands at the core of the brand’s philosophy, noticeable from the first cut. Compact construction supports easy carry, while materials and assembly maintain a solid, dependable feel.
A key technical feature involves the SpeedSafe assisted opening system. This mechanism allows fast, smooth one-handed deployment without complex handling. Assisted opening improves control and safety, and the knives are generally not classified as automatic, which helps with legality across many regions. Blade geometry and steel selection focus on edge retention, consistent cutting behavior, and straightforward maintenance.
Kershaw kitchen knives address a wide audience, from home cooks to more advanced users. Various blade profiles and handle shapes support different cutting styles and preferences. Attention to ergonomics reduces hand fatigue during longer prep sessions, adding real value in everyday cooking. Being part of the Japanese KAI group alongside Zero Tolerance and Shun strengthens quality control and shared innovation.
