Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 12 Damascus (7125DAM) is a breathtaking fusion of old-world Italian elegance and modern American precision. Designed by Matt Diskin as a compact evolution of the Launch 8, this "mini stiletto" replaces standard tactical finishes with an exquisite forged Damascus steel blade. Featuring intricate, high-contrast patterns that make every knife unique, the 7125DAM is the ultimate "gentleman’s tactical" automatic. Proudly Made in the USA, it offers the rapid-fire deployment the Launch series is famous for in a sophisticated, pocket-friendly package.
The 2.4-inch spear point blade features a slim silhouette with a deep top grind to reduce weight and enhance its classic stiletto profile. The handle is precision-machined from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, elevated by high-end carbon fiber inlays that provide a luxurious texture and modern contrast. Weighing a mere 1.9 ounces, this automatic folder is exceptionally easy to carry, yet built for performance with integrated top and bottom finger guards to keep your hand securely away from the razor-sharp edge.
