Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 13 (7650) is where high-tech geometry meets everyday utility. This sleek, industrial-inspired automatic is designed for those who want a full-sized 3.5-inch cutting edge in an ultra-slim, "disappearing" pocket profile. Proudly Made in the USA, the Launch 13 stands out with its aggressive Wharncliffe blade, which is slightly angled to provide better leverage for versatile slicing and detail-oriented piercing. Whether you are performing precision cuts or heavy utility work, the Launch 13 offers a sophisticated balance of style and mechanical power.
The blade is forged from premium CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, a high-end American steel favored for its exceptional edge retention and toughness. It features a striking two-tone finish, combining satin flats with stonewashed grinds for a custom look. The handle is precision-machined from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, featuring a custom triangular pivot and an integrated lanyard hole. At just 2.4 ounces, the Launch 13 is one of the lightest full-sized automatics in the Launch series, making it the perfect choice for discreet, deep-carry performance.
