I have said before, but I the Launch series are the absolute best side opening autos under $200. Protech is great, but Kershaw consistently does a better job sharpening their blades and Kershaws consistently have thinner edges and superior cutting geometry to Protech.
Yeah but pro tech has way better build quality and the materials and action are waaay better. But youre right. Under 200 they are great.
@@jannishansoonn I prioritize blade grinds and sharpness over how hard a knife opens. From my perspective, job number one of a knife is to cut. The Launches have a decent snap and are well built. That said, I own Protech’s too.
Pro tech is overrated...sorry
@@jlogue751 I think a lot of folks fall in love with Protech’s snappy action overlook the thick edges and uneven grinds on some of their knives.
@@Below-Average_Joe they're snappy but not perfect I really like the company tho. I'm rooting for them.. but my l u d t and 9400...are better, I've had a few protechs.
I have a Blurr, Iridium, Livewire, and just got Launch 19. Launch 19 my favorite. Unbelievably sharp! I like the black/brown! Kershaw makes great knives for price! Love made in USA! I got my Launch 19 for $138 (4-24) from Bud’s Gun Shop
Really nice looking knife, have a soft spot for Kershaw as before getting into expensive knives, Kershaw started it all for me.
Hell yeah!
Kershaw is definitely one of my top 3 favorite large scale American knife companies.
Dude….spaghetti in your pants? I didn’t know that was a mental state…🤔
I am loving my non serrated Launch 16! Been carrying it a ton since I bought it.
Thanks for reviewing this knife. Awesome 👍
10:51 without context masterpiece.
I really love this knife especially the looks. 🎉
The first launch series knife I would consider buying.
That's awesome. I love Kershaw. Thanks MC
Why oh why don't more knife companies use CPM 154? Kershaw's been building highly affordable knives (from around 100 to 150) out of it for years. Built in the US. It's almost twice as tough as 154CM. Please big knife manufacturers just give it a try.
The Kershaw knife I want most right now is the bronze Irridium BHQ exclusive. Talk about good looking.
_Im here for it!.. & this one has me reminiscing about my deep love for ZT!_
_😅Line em up... Liiiine em upppp!!!_
_Spyderco PM3 VS Spyderco Watu.. this kills each other, and your brain cells!_
_Abracadabra-Alakazaaam, we have... .. Launch 19!_ _(Giggity!)_
I've enjoyed seeing Kershaw start doing some 'simpler' silhouettes for the Launch series. Most of them are good looking knives, but a lot of us don't want to feel like we're toting around the Vorpal Sword in our pocket. Looking at you, Launch 13.
That's a good lookin knife! Kershaw is bringing the heat lately.
Im usually with metal complex on brown black combo but on this it looks like a cowboy knife so im in love
Looks like a Yuna knife..kinda. Cool, they are a very good budget auto. Worth every penny
Looks tactical a little. i like that.
It's a good looking blade !
Love Kershaw autos.thete 🏆 got 3 of them 👍
Yeah, a blacked out Blade with a carbon fiber half scale would be pretty cool.
If I’m not mistaken the 19 and the 14 have the exact same handle design
That's a slick lookin blade
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A BROUSHER OF THESE TO PURCHASE
Not a fan of the brown g10 and of the color difference between scales. The little bit of color on the blade looks really sharp!
What is the blade grind?
What scales are on the riter hogue?
A premium version of this one could be a great zt
Civivi .......sorry, got something caught in my throat.......lol priceless that is! Rock on MC!!!!!!
I want this in s35vn and all black aluminum handle.
If they priced this at 139.99 that would be insane! 170 seems a tad steep but not crazy
I love brown! And I love black! That's me! I might pick this one up. There's a deal RN and I can get it for $112.00.
I do not have spaghetti in my pants at least not right now, but you’ve made me curious…
My biggest problem with this configuration is the satin finish on the blade. If it were stonewashed I'd probably already have one
Wish the ZT side of Kershaw would do something innovative and relevant
Rock on MC! 😎
First automatic I've actually liked. So of course it has to be $165 🤣
Nice looking knife!
On a local Facebook page I saw someone saying their wife lost her swtchblade hoping slmetjjnf would find it…it was a bugout
Love it.
It's probably a fake one
I know some street folks that call every folder a switch..
E está buena la navaja dónde puedo conseguirla
Kershaw does a nice job keeping their US made knives’ prices reasonable.
250 bucks for a pocket knife is reasonable? They used to sell their top of the line knives for 30 to 70 bucks, and now they seem to have convinced people 250 bucks is reasonable. SMH
@@Brianchse The only Kershaws I know of that are that high are their OTFs.
@@markp4401 have you looked on their website lately?
Can you recommend a automatic knife or switchblade for my girlfriend that is affordable. Maybe under 50 bucks
"Don't get all 'spaghetti in your pants' about it." should be a shirt.
"get all spaghetti in your pants about it" might be the greatest sentence ever uttered in English.
I get more auto Hinderer/Strider vibes than para 3 tbh.
Wouldn't it be great if ZT was doing half as cool of stuff as Kershaw lately?
Sexy little auto, wish the blade was all black though👍🏻
Well, acchhually Mister Metal so-called Complex, 2.8 ounces is too much. All the ounces I save on my Bugout helps me carry the kitchen on my back that I actually don't use!🤓🤡
-Hiker actually, maybe.
🤣
I wonder if a hiker has ever went down on a trail, and his buddies start weighing his gear. One see's the weight, looks at the others with a somber look, and say's " I told him that extra 1.4 ounces would be the death of him".
that's night forest colors
I have the launch 18 and that clip is terrible. Pokey as all hell. I modified a ti Civivi clip to fit onto it and now it’s perfect.
where were you when MC lost the button on his scale?
Another button lock issue.
The clip on mine is not reversible
Not the scale!! 😭
Compelling knife!
Hikers and militia larpers.
(I'm a militia larper)
When buddies whine about their rifle being 8lbs instead of 7.5 I just have to laugh. Does weight matter? Of course. A 55lb pack is gonna suck more than a 40lb pack. So spend the weight allowance where it matters. A sturdy knife, a sturdy rifle are a must. Cut weight with titanium pots n pans, high tech sleep systems etc.
I’m at home alone laughing out loud at you…”It’s $169 gigity
A.K.A. SWITCH BLADE
Button probably came off while jaunting
A tip up automatic seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I am always hitting my panic button by accident on my key fob. Imagine hitting the open button with a tip up blade. It’s gonna be a bad day because you’re not getting that thing out of your pocket with your pants and one piece.
Why tf is this not a ZT. KAI been so stupid lately
Holy shit. I own many knives of many different makes, but I have never paid 200+ dollars for a pocket knife. Who are they marketing this to? Rich trust fund kids in the south? It looks to be a great knife, but it also looks to be massively overpriced. I have many Kershaw knives from the 90's and early 2000's and none of them cost anywhere near what this cost. What changed? They found out people are stupid and will buy anything.
That review was long and didn't even show how it cuts lol
It cuts like a knife. Showing how it cuts just tells you what the factory edge is like and that's the least important part of any review imo.
