Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 4 Damascus (7500DAM) is where artisan beauty meets tactical precision. Widely recognized as the definitive "California-Legal" automatic, this USA-made folder packs a formidable punch in a compact frame. By upgrading the legendary Launch 4 platform with a Damascus steel blade, Kershaw has created an executive-tier tool that satisfies both strict local regulations and the high standards of serious collectors.
The 1.9-inch spear point blade is forged from high-performance Damascus steel, showcasing a unique, swirling grain pattern that ensures no two knives are exactly alike. Despite its small stature, the Launch 4 features a powerful leaf spring that delivers a snappy, authoritative opening at the press of the recessed bullseye button. The handle is precision-machined from black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, keeping the total weight at a feather-light 1.8 ounces. It is the ultimate "fifth-pocket" knife—discreet, legal in many restricted areas, and undeniably sophisticated.
