Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 12 (7125GRYBW) is a high-performance tribute to the classic Italian stiletto, reimagined for the modern everyday carry enthusiast. Designed by Matt Diskin as the "baby brother" to the popular Launch 8, this compact automatic packs iconic style into a featherlight 1.9-ounce frame. Proudly Made in the USA, the Launch 12 is engineered for those who want the aggressive silhouette of a traditional stiletto in a package that is discreet, reliable, and exceptionally easy to carry.
The 2.4-inch spear point blade is crafted from premium CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, delivering a superior balance of edge retention and toughness. This model features a rugged BlackWash™ finish that expertly hides scratches while giving the knife a tactical, "broken-in" look. The handle is precision-machined from gray anodized aluminum and elevated with sleek carbon fiber inlays for a sophisticated touch. With integrated finger guards at both the top and bottom of the handle, the Launch 12 ensures your hand stays safe and secure during rapid deployment.
