Kershaw Dividend, Olive, Composite Blade – 1812OLCB
The Dividend is more striking than ever with its new Composite Blade and machined and anodized aluminum handle. Kershaw’s proprietary Composite Blade Technology joins two steels in one blade. In this case, CPM D2 and Bohler N690. We put the Bohler N690 on the blade upper to take advantage of its corrosion resistance and exceptional hardness. We put the D2 on the cutting edge to take advantage of its wear resistance, toughness, and excellent edge retention. Then we permanently joined them in a “toothlike” pattern for warbird-like style.
- A premium EDC; Made in the USA
- Composite Blade Technology permanently joins two steels in one blade; hard, corrosion resistant N690 on the blade upper, edge-holding D2 on the cutting edge

Kershaw Launch 14 – 7850
AUTOMATIC KNIFE
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. The BlackWash™ coating hides use scratches after a hard day’s work. Other details tie it all together, including a bronze anodized titanium tube spacer, 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.
- Made in the USA; cleaver blade
- Two-piece front handle includes carbon fiber and aluminum; integrated backspacer with lanyard hole
- The CPM 154 powdered metallurgy blade steel takes and holds an excellent edge, provides corrosion resistance, wear resistance, toughness; BlackWash™ finish helps hide use scratches
- Low-profile push button makes it harder for blade to accidentally deploy

Kershaw Launch 8 – 7150
AUTOMATIC KNIFE
Inspired by the look of classic Italian stilettos, the Kershaw Launch 8 modernizes this traditional design for a new generation. The Launch 8 has the symmetrical lines of a stiletto, is very lightweight—only 2.4 ounces—and easy-to-carry. The slim blade is sharpened on one side and has a deep top grind to lighten weight and add stiletto style. To maintain the symmetry, the pivot is sunk deep in the handle and covered by a carbon fiber insert. Integrated fingerguards on handle top and bottom keep fingers away from danger.
- Made in the USA; stiletto styling
- The CPM 154 powdered metallurgy blade steel takes and holds an excellent edge, provides corrosion resistance, wear resistance, toughness
- Lightweight, strong anodized aluminum handle is comfortably slim with carbon fiber insert

Kershaw Launch 4 – 7500BLK
AUTOMATIC KNIFE
The Launch 4 is short on blade, but tall on style. And that’s good, because that shorter blade—1.9 inches to be precise—makes the Launch 4 legal in a lot more places than some other autos. (Be sure to check your local regulations.) Its performance and style come from upgraded CPM 154 blade steel with a Cerakote blade coating, a compact anodized aluminum handle, and a strong opening kick. Single-position pocketclip.
- Made in the USA; shorter blade makes it legal in more locations
- The CPM 154 powdered metallurgy blade steel takes and holds an excellent edge, provides corrosion resistance, wear resistance, toughness
- Lightweight, strong anodized aluminum handle offers comfortable grip
- Low-profile push button makes it harder for blade to accidentally deploy
PLEASE NOTE THAT OLDER MODELS USE A BLACK DLC FINISH. CURRENT PRODUCTION MODELS ARE BUILT WITH A CERAKOTE BLADE FINISH.
