Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 15 (7950) represents the pinnacle of modern automatic knife design, blending cutting-edge metallurgy with a sophisticated "modern-classic" aesthetic. This full-sized automatic stands out as one of the first in the Launch series to utilize CPM MagnaCut steel, the industry’s most sought-after "super steel." Proudly Made in the USA, the Launch 15 is a high-performance tool that bridges the gap between a tactical workhorse and a premium gentleman’s folder.
The 3.5-inch spear point blade is finished in Kershaw's signature BlackWash™, providing a non-reflective, rugged look that hides wear while offering incredible resistance to the elements. The handle is precision-machined from black anodized aluminum and features beautiful tan micarta inlays on both the front and back scales, providing a warm, high-traction feel. Even the backspacer is crafted from a thin strip of micarta, ensuring a seamless, high-end look from every angle. With its rapid push-button deployment and ultra-tough MagnaCut blade, the Launch 15 is truly "reaching for the stars."
