Cleaver blade action comes to Kershaw’s automatic series with the Launch 14. Grip the auto securely with the two-piece aluminum and carbon fiber front handle. While the flashy carbon fiber screams “look at me,” the Launch 14 is far from a safe queen. A finger choil allows users to choke up on the blade during heavy work tasks. Other details tie it all together, reversable pocket clip, and an integrated backspacer with a lanyard hole. But it’s the tantalizing cleaver that begs Kershaw fans to press that button again and again.
