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
