The Kershaw 7105 Launch 16 is an automatic folding knife built for hunters, tactical users, and field professionals who need a blade that's fast and ready to deploy. With a 3.45-inch tanto-shaped blade that pairs a plain edge with partial serrations, this knife balances slicing capability with the gripping power of serrated steel—useful whether you're field dressing game, cutting rope, or handling tasks around camp. The blade is forged from CPM M4 steel, a premium stainless steel known for edge retention and corrosion resistance. Flip the launch button and the blade snaps out with the speed and authority that defines the Kershaw automatic line.
The handle is machined from black Cerakote aluminum, giving the Launch 16 a lightweight yet durable grip that handles tough use and won't weigh down your pack or belt carry. The Cerakote coating resists wear, scratches, and weathering—practical for extended field seasons. As a true folding design, it remains compact and legal to carry in most jurisdictions, and the tanto point geometry gives you a robust tip for piercing tasks without sacrificing control or precision.
If you work in a trade, hunt in variable conditions, or simply want a quick-deploying blade that combines edge utility with the reliability Kershaw has built over decades, the Launch 16 automatic deserves a close look. The hybrid edge and premium steel blade make it equally comfortable in the field or on the job site.
| Blade Length | 3.45 inches |
| Blade Material | CPM M4 Steel |
| Blade Edge | Plain and Part Serrated (Tanto) |
| Handle Material | Black Cerakote Aluminum |
| Deployment Type | Automatic (Folding) |
| Model | Kershaw 7105 Launch 16 |
A tanto is a Japanese-inspired blade design with a flat cutting edge that rises to meet a hard-angled point. The geometry provides a robust tip for piercing and puncturing tasks while maintaining a long, effective cutting edge. This makes it versatile for field work, hunting, and tactical applications where you need both slicing and precision point control.
The plain edge on the Launch 16 excels at smooth, controllable cuts. The partial serrations add gripping power on tougher materials like rope, cordage, and fibrous game hide. The combination gives you flexibility in one blade: efficiency on most cuts, plus the bite you need when regular steel slips.
As a folding automatic knife, legality depends on your state and local jurisdiction. Many states permit folding automatics, but some restrict blade length, mechanism type, or carry context. We recommend checking your local laws before purchase.
The aluminum handle keeps the overall knife light and pocket-friendly. Specifics on total weight are not provided, but the design philosophy of the Launch 16 is to deliver automatic deployment power without excessive bulk—making it practical for EDC, field work, or belt carry.
