Kershaw Launch 12

The Kershaw Launch 12 7125 brings the stiletto-inspired styling of the Launch 8 into a smaller, lighter automatic knife. Its slim 2.4-inch CPM 154 spear-point blade features a stonewashed finish and deep top grind that reduces weight while creating its distinctive profile. A low-profile push button provides fast automatic deployment, while integrated finger guards help keep the hand securely positioned. The slim black-anodized aluminum handle is accented with a carbon fiber insert, giving the Launch 12 a premium appearance while keeping total weight to just 1.9 ounces. Designed by Matt Diskin and made in the USA, the now-discontinued Launch 12 is an especially interesting choice for Kershaw enthusiasts and collectors.
