Product Description
The Kershaw Launch 9 (7250GRYBW) offers the premium speed and power of the Launch series in an ultra-compact, California-legal format. Featuring a sub-2-inch blade, this "mini" automatic is designed for discreet carry without sacrificing performance. Proudly Made in the USA, the Launch 9 utilizes high-end materials to deliver a professional-grade tool that is appropriate for office environments, formal settings, or as a high-performance backup blade.
The 1.8-inch drop point blade is forged from premium CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel, delivering elite edge retention and toughness. This model is finished in Kershaw's signature BlackWash™, a rugged, non-reflective "working" finish that expertly hides the scuffs and scratches earned during daily tasks. The handle is precision-machined from gray anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a sleek, modern aesthetic and a lightweight, 1.6-ounce footprint. With a rapid push-button deployment and a low-profile deep-carry clip, the Launch 9 is the ultimate "small-scale" tactical EDC.
