Consignment - Kershaw Launch 8, CPM-154 Steel

This is a consignment Kershaw Launch 8, Matt Diskin's update of the classic Italian stiletto as a USA-made push-button automatic. It has the symmetrical lines of a stiletto and stays light and easy to carry. The slim 3.5" CPM 154 spear-point blade is sharpened on one side, has a deep top grind that saves weight and adds stiletto style, and comes in a stonewashed finish at 58–60 HRC.

To keep the design symmetrical, Kershaw sank the pivot deep in the handle and covered it with a carbon fiber insert. Integrated finger guards on the top and bottom of the handle keep your fingers away from the edge. The low-profile push button makes it harder for the blade to deploy by accident, and the pocket clip is reversible for tip-up carry. This piece has an olive green anodized aluminum handle with the carbon fiber insert, as shown in the photos.

This is a single consignment piece and is sold as pictured. Comply with all local, state and federal regulations on buying, owning, carrying and transporting automatic knives.
