Product Description

The Kershaw Launch 9 Damascus (7250DAM) is a compact powerhouse that combines the heritage of custom-forged steel with the speed of modern American manufacturing. Inspired by the sleek, industrial lines of the popular Launch 2, the Launch 11 has been scaled down into a highly portable, "California-legal" automatic package. Don’t let its small stature fool you—the Launch 9 is a fully capable utility tool designed for those who want a premium, fast-action blade that fits effortlessly into a coin pocket or a professional EDC kit.

The 2-inch drop point blade is crafted from stunning Damascus steel, offering a unique, swirled aesthetic that ensures no two knives are exactly alike. Beyond its looks, the blade features a robust 0.13-inch thickness, providing surprising strength for a sub-3-inch knife. The handle is precision-machined from black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a lightweight yet rock-solid frame. At a featherweight 1.5 ounces, the Launch 9 is virtually unnoticeable in the pocket until its lightning-fast push-button mechanism is engaged.

• Exquisite Damascus Steel: Features a unique forged pattern for a high-end, custom appearance with high-performance cutting capabilities.

• California-Legal Automatic: The 2-inch blade length complies with many restrictive knife laws while still offering the utility of a full-sized handle.

• Snappy Push-Button Deployment: Instantaneous automatic action at the press of a button, featuring a secure button lock for reliable use.

• Ultra-Lightweight Build: Weighing only 1.5 oz, this USA-made automatic is designed for discreet, everyday carry without the bulk.

• Versatile Deep-Carry Clip: Includes a reversible pocket clip for left or right-handed tip-up carry, ensuring the knife sits low and secure.
