Kershaw Launch 4 – For those of you that love knives and live in California, then you—regrettably—know that automatic knives with a spring mechanism are largely illegal. I mean largely because most spring-assisted blades on the market have a blade over 2-inches and prevent their sale in California. Most makers don’t want to make a dinky blade less than that, but not Kershaw. Their new Launch model has a 4th iteration and it is primed for those in the Golden state. The blade measures right at the state limit, and is activated with a quick push of a button. Kershaw even managed to make the small size blade look intimidating with a nice black CPM154 steel.
