Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 14 Damascus (7850BLKDAM) is the ultimate fusion of ancient artistry and modern tactical engineering. This premium edition of the Launch 14 replaces standard steel with a breathtaking Damascus cleaver blade, featuring high-contrast forged patterns that make every single knife a unique work of art. Proudly Made in the USA, this automatic folder is designed for the enthusiast who demands a "gentleman’s tactical" aesthetic without sacrificing the heavy-duty utility that the Launch series is famous for.
The 3.375-inch cleaver blade offers a robust profile with significant weight near the tip, ensuring the knife opens with authoritative power and confidence. The handle is precision-machined from gray anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a sleek, durable frame that perfectly complements the intricate swirls of the Damascus steel. Accented with a high-end black carbon fiber inlay and a large finger choil for precision choking up during work tasks, the Launch 14 Damascus is as much a high-performance tool as it is a centerpiece for any collection.
