    The ones that are larger are what I am looking at
    Launch 1 With it's black blade and simplistic looks make it on the list. But maybe it is too large?
    Launch 2 Has a stonewashed blade and is sleeker But dislike the serrations. So not really for me.
    Launch 3 It has the black blade I like, but maybe to sleek?
    This Video shows all 3 at the end side by side at about 2 minutes in. A local vendor Here at Bayoushooer has 2-3 of them in stock

    Launch 4 is small so is 100% out! This may be a great knife in California or for a kid to sharpen pencils with?
    Launch 5 I do not like the handle So it like #4 is out as well!
    Launch 6 I am really liking this one. Think a local has vendor has one like this in stock.

    Launch 7 Kinda looks like Arnold would carry one in a Terminator Movie? But does look great in gray

    looking at them in black but the 7 looks sweet in gray Thoughts.

    I have a 6 and a 3. The 3 is meh, but the 6 is really cool. It looks really mean, fires really fast and isn't too sleek to get a little work done if you need to.

    I have the 4, 5, and the 7. Here's a pic of my 7. It is large. Kinda reminds me of a modernized Buck 110.

    I'll double check when I get home, but I'm pretty sure there is little to no play on the 6.

    I also want to know as well. As the 6 is what grabbed as it comes in black. Over the Gray 7 So wondering how your 6 is? The blade on the 6 is better looking as well. I found this on U tube that has the launch line all on a table. Fast forward to the end to see the 6 and 7

    The Launch 6 looks like you could gut a Buffalo next to the others on that table

    Yeah, the 6 blade is at least 1/2" longer than the 3. It's a badass looking knife. Forgot to look at it last night, but I set a calendar reminder to look at blade play tonight and get back to you.

    Ok, I checked. Almost no blade play in any direction... I had to think about how to say that, because, there is enough play to know it isn't a benchmade, but not enough to say, yes, it has play in it. It's so minute (mynoot) that it's almost null.
