Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 11 Damascus (7550DAM) is a masterclass in modern industrial design and traditional blade aesthetics. As one of the most popular models in the USA-made Launch series, the Launch 11 is celebrated for its ultra-lightweight profile and aggressive, "milled-out" look. This premium edition elevates the platform with a striking Damascus steel blade, turning a high-performance tactical tool into a sophisticated piece of functional art.
The 2.75-inch drop point blade is forged from high-contrast Damascus steel, offering a unique, swirled pattern on every knife while maintaining excellent cutting performance. To keep the weight at a staggering 2.1 ounces, the black-anodized aluminum handle features strategic "windows" and weight-reduction cutouts that also provide a unique visual depth. Powered by a high-torque spring and activated by a recessed bullseye push button, the Launch 11 fires with the lightning-fast authority that has made the Kershaw Launch line a legend among automatic knife enthusiasts.
