Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 13 Damascus (7650DAM) is a futuristic fusion of aggressive geometry and ancient metallurgy. Proudly made in the USA, this edition of the popular Launch 13 replaces the standard blade with stunning forged Damascus steel, giving its sharp, angular silhouette a refined, custom-tier aesthetic. With its narrow profile and featherweight build, the Launch 13 Damascus is the ultimate choice for those who want a full-sized tactical tool that doubles as a sophisticated conversation piece.
The 3.5-inch Wharncliffe blade is precision-angled to provide superior leverage for slicing and a surgical tip for detailed utility work. The swirling patterns of the Damascus steel ensure that every knife is unique, while providing a high-performance edge that is ready for daily tasks. The handle is precision-machined from black anodized aluminum, featuring sculpted elements for a "locked-in" grip and an integrated backspacer that reinforces the slim frame. At just 2.4 ounces, this automatic folder deploys with lightning speed at the press of the low-profile "bullseye" button.
