Kershaw Launch 12 – Switchblade Automatic Knives

Designed by Matt Diskin, the Launch 12 is the baby brother of Kershaw’s popular Launch 8. Inspired by the look of classic Italian stilettos, the Launch 12 offers stiletto style for a new generation. More compact than the original Launch 8, the Launch 12 weighs just 1.9 ounces, making it exceptionally easy to carry. The slim blade is sharpened on one side and has a deep top grind to lighten weight and add stiletto style. Integrated fingerguards on handle top and bottom keep fingers away from danger.Made in the USA; stiletto styling in a smaller packageThe CPM 154 powdered metallurgy blade steel takes and holds an excellent edge, provides corrosion resistance, wear resistance, toughnessLightweight, strong anodized aluminum handle is comfortably slim with carbon fiber insertLow-profile push button makes it harder for blade to accidentally deployFeatures DetailsUse Everyday, TacticalType Automatic, FolderStyle PocketknifeDesigner Matt DiskinBlade Style Spear PointBlade Edge PlainOpening Action AutomaticOpens With Push buttonLock Type Push-button lockPocketclip Reversible (right/left, tip-up)Handle Color BlackHardware Black-oxide steel pivot nut, black teflon finish steel pocketclip, black-oxide steel screwsMade in USA YesCountry of Origin USA: Design, Prototype, Quality Control, ManufactureWarranty Limited Lifetime WarrantySpecificationsBlade Length 2.4 in.
