Product Description

The Kershaw Launch 18 Damascus (7551DAM) is a masterclass in combining high-speed tactical performance with the timeless elegance of artisanal steel. As a standout in the legendary USA-made Launch series, this model is specifically engineered for those who demand a "blazing fast," lightweight automatic without sacrificing premium aesthetics. By pairing a visually stunning Damascus steel blade with a sophisticated gray-anodized chassis, Kershaw has created a functional work of art that is as at home in a collection as it is in a pocket for daily use.

The 2.79-inch spear point blade features a full-flat grind, providing a consistently "slicey" edge that excels at detailed cutting tasks. Forged from high-performance Damascus steel, every blade features a unique, high-contrast pattern that offers excellent toughness and wear resistance. The ergonomic handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, finished in a sleek dark gray anodization. Luxury touches, including a ceramic bead-blasted titanium pivot ring and an integrated backspacer, elevate the Launch 18 above standard EDC folders.
