Kershaw Launch 8 Automatic Knife Blue Black 3.5in Plain Black Stiletto

The Kershaw Launch 8 Auto Folding Knife blends the timeless design of Italian stilettos with modern materials and functionality, creating a sleek, high-performance tool that’s perfect for everyday carry or as part of a discerning collection. At just 2.4 ounces, the Launch 8 is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to carry while maintaining the strength and durability needed for real-world tasks. The knife’s 3.5-inch CPM-154 steel blade features a sharp edge and a black finish, ensuring excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. This powdered metallurgy steel is known for its uniform distribution of carbides, which gives it superior cutting power while being more wear-resistant than standard steel.

The blade, sharpened on one side with a deep top grind, is designed to maintain the iconic stiletto shape, while reducing unnecessary weight. This design makes it ideal for precision tasks, piercing, and lightweight utility cutting. The push-button automatic deployment of the Launch 8 ensures quick and easy access to the blade, with the same button serving as the lock release for added simplicity and safety.

The handle is crafted from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum in an eye-catching blue finish, giving the knife a distinct look while offering durability and corrosion resistance. A carbon fiber inlay enhances the style while providing a comfortable grip. For added safety, the handle includes integrated finger guards on both sides, helping to keep your fingers out of harm’s way during use. The reversible pocket clip, designed for tip-up carry, allows for versatile and secure handling, whether you’re left or right-handed.

With its combination of modern materials, classic styling, and American craftsmanship, the Kershaw Launch 8 is a must-have for knife enthusiasts.
