This automatic knife features CPM154 blade steel, a strong opening kick, and is made-in-the-USA at Kershaws Tualatin, Oregon manufacturing facility. The CPM154 powdered metallurgy blade steel has more uniform distribution of carbidesso it takes and holds an excellent edge. It also provides good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. To lighten the Launch 1's weight, the handles are durable anodized aluminum and are contoured to fit snugly in the hand. The Launch 1 opens with a push button, which is recessed so that it is level with the flat of the handle. This is a safety feature and makes it harder for the knives to accidentally deploy. Nevertheless, automatic knives are dangerous and should be handled with extreme caution in all circumstances. The Launch 1's pocketclip is left/right reversible. For left-handed use, use your index finger instead of your thumb to press the blade-release/lock button. Comply with all local, State, and Federal regulations regarding the purchase, owning, carrying, and transportation of automatic knives.
