Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 20 (7050) represents the next generation of American-made automatic excellence. Combining the structural integrity of industrial materials with the high-end allure of modern composites, the Launch 20 is designed for those who demand "super steel" performance in a sophisticated, lightweight package. Proudly made in the USA, this model introduces a fresh, angular aesthetic to the Launch family, making it an instant standout for both tactical users and discerning collectors.
The 3.0-inch reverse tanto blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, the reigning champion of blade steels (62-64 HRC). This American-made alloy provides a virtually unparalleled trifecta of extreme toughness, world-class edge retention, and total corrosion resistance. The blade's clean satin finish highlights the aggressive tip geometry, which is specifically engineered for precision piercing and robust slicing. The handle is a hybrid masterpiece, featuring raw aluminum scales accented by Black Marbled Carbon Fiber inlays. At a featherweight 2.3 ounces, the Launch 20 offers instantaneous, push-button deployment and a rock-solid button lock.
