The Launch 17 stands out with satisfying opening action, an easy-to-carry profile, and a tactical clip point blade for cutting work. This auto fires with authority using a push-button mechanism, which is surrounded by a textured G10 inlay. Integrated fingerguards on handle, top and bottom, keep fingers away from danger. And with long-lasting MagnaCut blade steel, this Launch promises a lifetime of cutting performance.
