Purchased this knife for my wife, and I did well! She loves it. She has it with her always. Smooth action and fits well in her hand. Great steel and sharp right out of the box. Only issue she has seen is that ladies pants pockets are sometimes smaller and the knife will not sit low enough in her pocket. Not a fault of the knife. I have a few Kershaws... can't go wrong.
The knife itself is real smooth, the color isn't bad for this style but only works with the launch 6 or 8. Wish I would have grabbed a black one. It is a lot smoother than my Gerber and is a nice knife overall. It fits nice ergonomically and is a blast to open. The launch 8 is my favorite of the launch series though.
The first thing I noticed about this knife is how light it is. The auto mechanism is very snappy and reliable while concealed in the handle, finishing with a clean look. Out of the box the blade is very sharp, it passed the arm shave test. However it did require re sharpening after about 3 weeks of frequent use. Kershaw continues it's legendary build quality in this Launch 6. I highly recommend this knife, and ordering from Blade HQ was hassle-free.
