The new Kershaw Launch 8 is a side opening, push-button automatic patterned after old-world Italian stilettos. It’s an easy daily carry with all the high-quality, modern technology you could possibly want, and it’s made in the USA.
It has a 3.5” CPM 154 stonewash finish dagger blade with a classic swedge on the spine (that makes it look like a second edge, really). There are dual finger guards which not only protect your fingers, but also add to the great looking classic dagger profile.
The gray anodized aluminum handles have a carbon fiber insert on the front. It also has an ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip. With a weight of 2.4 ounces and a handle width of just under a half-inch, this makes an attractive and easy daily carry.
