Product Description
Inspired by the timeless silhouette of classic Italian stilettos, the Kershaw Launch 12 is a compact, high-tech evolution of traditional design. Created by renowned designer Matt Diskin, this "baby brother" to the Launch 8 offers a slim, aggressive profile optimized for the modern EDC enthusiast. Weighing in at a featherlight 1.9 ounces, the Launch 12 provides a lightning-fast automatic experience in a package so small it virtually disappears in your pocket until it’s time for action.
The 2.4-inch spear point blade is crafted from premium CPM-154 powder metallurgy steel, providing exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance for daily utility. Its stonewashed finish masterfully hides scratches, while the deep top grind adds authentic stiletto flair. The handle is precision-machined from gray anodized aluminum and elevated with a sleek carbon fiber inlay for a touch of class. With integrated finger guards at the top and bottom of the handle, the Launch 12 ensures your hand stays safely away from the razor-sharp edge during high-speed deployment.
