Product Description
Light, airy, and lightning fast, the Kershaw Launch 11 is the high-performance automatic designed for those who value minimalist aesthetics without sacrificing power. As part of the prestigious Launch series, the 7550 stands out with its straight, clean profile and weight-saving handle cutouts. Proudly Made in the USA, this side-opening auto combines premium metallurgy with sophisticated design touches that make it a top-tier choice for discreet everyday carry.
The 2.75-inch drop point blade is crafted from elite CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, offering a perfect balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade is finished in Kershaw’s signature BlackWash™, providing a non-reflective look that masterfully conceals use scratches. The handle is precision-machined from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and features a unique window cutout to reduce weight to a mere 2.1 ounces. Custom accents, including a bronze-anodized titanium pivot trim ring and an integrated backspacer, elevate the Launch 11 into the realm of modern functional art.
