Product Description
The Kershaw 7150 Launch 8 is a modern reimagining of the classic Italian stiletto, blending old-world symmetrical elegance with state-of-the-art American manufacturing. Designed for those who appreciate the sleek, rapid deployment of a traditional automatic but demand the performance of high-end materials, the Launch 8 is an exceptionally lightweight and sophisticated addition to any EDC collection.
The 3.5-inch spear point blade is forged from premium CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, delivering a superior balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade features a rugged stonewashed finish and a deep top grind that enhances its stiletto-inspired silhouette while shedding unnecessary weight. Deployment is instantaneous via the recessed bullseye firing button, which also serves as a secure lock when the blade is engaged. To maintain its perfect symmetry, the pivot is countersunk and hidden beneath a carbon fiber inlay on the gray anodized aluminum handle. With integrated finger guards for safety and a weight of only 2.4 ounces, the Launch 8 offers a "feather-light" carry experience without sacrificing full-sized utility.
