Since we are on the subject of knives, Pat Cascio of the Survival Blog has published a review of a new automatic folder from Kershaw called the Launch 15. He writes:
The new Launch 15 is a full-sized folder with a 3.5-inch blade and being made in the USA at Kershaw means it is first class all the way. The blade is made out of CPM Magnacut high tech stainless steel, and it will hold an edge a good long time before you have to touch it up. The point on the folder is a bayonet-style blade, with Aluminum handle scales on both sides of the handle and spine. The pocket clip has a deep carry design, so it rides in your pocket and won’t slip out of the pocket. A blackwash is on the blade so scratches won’t easily show up on it – nice! Plus the pocket clip is reversible if you want to carry the knife in a left front pocket.
When you close the blade it stays locked in the handle, until you actually press the button, and then the blade is released and locked open, until you press the button once again, and lock it back in the handle. The handle is two-toned, black and tan – very cool looking, if you ask me.
It passed his cutting tests without issue and worked well for around the kitchen. Anyway, he has more about the knife and some photographs. He also mentions that it is on sale (at least as of the time of his posting his article on Nov. 28).
