Kershaw Emerson Launch 5 Automatic Knife Blue Aluminum (3.4" Black) 7600BLUBLK

I've owned 2 of the 7600 Emerson/launches. Love them. Quality is better than the raven Emerson in my opinion of course. With all the launch series many say they don't get a lock up sometimes. This gets better as it breaks in. Also it happens when you don't give the button a good intentional push meaning you push the button and take your thumb off at same time. If you push and hold the blade will always lock open. Its the same as short shucking a pump gun. If you do this with protechs or some other button autos the button will almost over extend and be hard to push in when closing. I love that this isn't the case with kershaw autos. You cant go wrong with any of the launch models but this one is by far my favorite and most carried. Perfect centering. Barely any play after much use. Construction screws that dont have to be tweaked or tuned like a swiss watch to get the action right like some knives lol. Only gripe is why they discontinued this model. Bring back the 5 please kershaw!!
