Kershaw Lovers
My son and I picked up a couple of new Kershaw offerings--the Launch 2 and 4. The small one is particularly interesting--tiny yet with enough of a handle to grip comfortably. Very handy little knife. If one worked in the dangerous trades like our police and military it would be very easy to conceal this tiny knife in a sock or shirt pocket or the lining of a helmet or uniform hat.
The Launch 2 is a much larger knife. Both are made in USA and have all the sleekness and feeling of quality of Kershaw. They are automatics and I know that presents a problem in some states. They are reasonably priced in the $70 range which is excellent for a USA made automatic.

Those are quality Knives for the price. I like the handle on the small Launch 4. Like you said, it looks large enough for a decent grip. A lot of these mini-automatics have poorly designed handles.
Kershaw Knives have always impressed me, and I own several of the assisted opening versions, like the "Leek".
When I was active as an LEO, I often carried an automatic (a nice "GT" with a 4 inch spear point blade), but now I prefer assisted openers, especially as PA's laws don't allow automatics for retired LEO.

I have a handful of Kershaw knives, and really like them, especially the US-made Leek. My son has given me a couple of them, the Rainbow Leek (my disco knife) and the CQC-7, which is licensed to use the Emerson Wave, which opens the blade as the knife is withdrawn from the pocket. I was glad to be able to try that one out and find out early on that it is fun and cool, but that I don't really need to spend a lot of money on the real thing from Emerson.
Kershaw's customer service is excellent, and the knives typically come shaving sharp out of the box.

My wife and I both really love Kershaw Speed Safe knives. She carries either a pink Leek or a camo Scallion every day. My two EDCs are a RedAnd black swirl Leek and a half serrated black blade gold Leek. Weekends, I often carry my semi tanto Black Blur or their great, inexpensive knife/screwdriver tool.
Really good knives at fair prices.

I've accumulated a fair number of folders over the years. Could've saved myself some dough if I'd bought my orange Kershaw Leek first. It's become my favorite.
