Launch 8 – Kershaw Knives – Kai USA

Inspired by the look of classic Italian stilettos, the Kershaw Launch 8 modernizes this traditional design for a new generation. The Launch 8 has the symmetrical lines of a stiletto, is very lightweight—only 2.4 ounces—and easy-to-carry. The slim blade is sharpened on one side and has a deep top grind to lighten weight and add stiletto style. To maintain the symmetry, the pivot is sunk deep in the handle and covered by a carbon fiber insert. Integrated fingerguards on handle top and bottom keep fingers away from danger.Made in the USA; stiletto stylingThe 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 deployComply with all local, State, and Federal regulations regarding the purchase, owning, carrying, and transportation of automatic knives.Features DetailsEdition EngravableUse EverydayType 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 GrayMade in USA YesCountry of Origin USA: Design, Prototype, Quality Control, ManufactureWarranty Limited Lifetime WarrantySpecificationsBlade Length 3.5 in.
