Product Description

The Kershaw Launch 12 (7125BLKBW) brings the aggressive, timeless silhouette of a traditional Italian stiletto into a sleek, "blackout" modern format. Designed by Matt Diskin as a compact alternative to the Launch 8, this mini stiletto is engineered for high-performance carry without the bulk. Weighing in at a mere 1.9 ounces, it disappears in the pocket but deploys with the authoritative "snap" that defines the Kershaw Launch series. Proudly Made in the USA, this model combines heritage design with elite American materials.

The 2.4-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 ensures maximum safety and control during rapid deployment.
