Go plain edge with the Launch 16 – featuring a versatile tanto blade and extremely high edge retention. This automatic opener withstands the toughest cutting tasks with high-end M4, a balanced super steel with superior hardness and toughness. This auto looks as good as it cuts with an raw finished handle and a gray Cerakote blade. The tanto blade shape is ideal for piercing cuts. Even better, the Trac-Tec handle inserts, oversized jimping, and finger choil offer a secure grip. Carry it comfortably on the go with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip. More than a fresh coat of paint, this Launch 16 is a top performer.
