Product Description

The Kershaw Launch 12 CA-Legal (7130BLKBW) brings the aggressive, timeless silhouette of a traditional Italian stiletto into a California-compliant format. Designed by Matt Diskin as a compact alternative to the Launch 8, this mini stiletto is engineered for high-performance carry in regions with strict blade length regulations. By shortening the blade to 1.9 inches, Kershaw has created a mission-ready automatic that is as discreet as it is functional. Proudly Made in the USA, this model combines heritage design with elite American materials and a stealthy "blackout" aesthetic.

The 1.9-inch spear point blade is crafted from premium CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, offering superior edge retention and toughness for daily cutting tasks. The blade features a non-reflective BlackWash™ finish and a deep top grind that enhances the stiletto aesthetic while shaving off unnecessary weight. The handle is precision-machined from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and features high-end carbon fiber inlays for a sophisticated, tactical look. With integrated top and bottom finger guards, the Launch 12 CA ensures maximum safety and control during rapid deployment.
