Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 12 CA-Legal (7130) combines the sleek, dangerous profile of a traditional Italian stiletto with the legality of a California-compliant 1.9-inch blade. Designed by Matt Diskin, this "mini stiletto" is the compact sibling to the Launch 8, offering rapid-fire automatic deployment in a package that weighs less than two ounces. Proudly Made in the USA, the Launch 12 CA is the perfect choice for users who want premium materials and iconic "switchblade" styling in a discreet, legally-conscious format.
The blade is forged from premium CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, an elite American steel known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The stonewashed finish provides a rugged, non-reflective look that masks daily wear and tear. The handle is precision-machined from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and features a high-end carbon fiber inlay for added texture and style. With integrated top and bottom finger guards to keep your hand clear of the edge and a recessed "bullseye" firing button, the Launch 12 CA is a masterclass in small-scale tactical engineering.
