Product Description
The Kershaw Launch Iridium (7038) represents the perfect evolution of one of Kershaw’s most popular designs, now upgraded with lightning-fast automatic action. Combining the award-winning ergonomics of the Iridium with the elite performance of the USA-made Launch series, this folder is a masterclass in clean design and high-end utility. Engineered for those who demand "super steel" performance and authoritative deployment, the Launch Iridium is built to be the definitive centerpiece of your tactical EDC rotation.
The 3.45-inch spear point blade is precision-crafted from CPM MagnaCut (62-64 HRC), the revolutionary American steel that offers an unmatched balance of extreme toughness and total corrosion resistance. Featuring a hollow grind for superior slicing and a rugged working finish to hide use scratches, this blade is ready for heavy-duty tasks. The handle is machined from black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum for lightweight strength, accented by a custom pivot and a gray-anodized backspacer. With a simple press of the low-profile button, the blade fires with the legendary speed and reliability that defines the Kershaw Launch series.
