Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 8 (7150RAW) is a modern reimagining of the classic Italian stiletto, combining timeless elegance with high-performance American engineering. Designed for those who appreciate symmetrical lines and rapid deployment, the Launch 8 is a sophisticated "gentleman’s tactical" folder that is remarkably lightweight. Weighing in at just 2.4 ounces, this USA-made automatic offers a full 3.5-inch blade without the bulk of traditional tactical knives.
The blade is crafted from CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, an elite alloy known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening. Its spear point profile features a deep top grind that mimics the stiletto aesthetic while maintaining a functional, razor-sharp edge. The handle is precision-machined from silver anodized aluminum, featuring a sleek black carbon fiber inlay that conceals the pivot for a clean, uninterrupted look. With integrated finger guards and a low-profile firing button, the Launch 8 is a secure, stylish, and lightning-fast addition to any collection.
