Kershaw Launch 9 Mini Drop Point Working Finish Automatic Knife 7250

The Launch 9 mini push button automatic knife from Kershaw Knives is a smaller, more user-friendly version of the popular 4. The 9 is a pointy little backup that looks good, acts fast and won’t take up much room wherever you carry it. This one is perfect for the pocket, pouch, pack or purse. Outfitted with a Working Finished (somewhat rougher than Stonewashed) drop point-style blade and a Black anodized aluminum handle. 

Brand new, direct from Kershaw Knives, USA.

Blade: Crafted in a useful drop point style for everyday slicing and more. It has a straight plain cutting edge shaving sharpened to just under two inches with a long upper fuller grind for an intimidating look. A working finish and piercing point really set this blade off. It looks as great as it cuts. It fires via a black bullseye-style button that’s recessed to the flat of the handle making accidental firings as difficult as possible. Simply press the button in again to fold the blade to the closed position in the handle.

Handle: Contoured aluminum handle scales feature a straightforward, comfortable design. Along with an integrated backspace they’re thick black anodized and really lighten the carry load of the Launch 9. The pommel end is rounded off for a solid backup should you need it. Kershaw laser-engraved the American Flag on the back of the handle.

Carries via a reversible, tip-up only, deep carry pocket clip.

CPM-154: CPM-154 is a particle metallurgy version of 154CM that benefits from the refinement in the PM process providing it with an increase in toughness and easy of finishing. CPM-154 takes a very fine edge and is highly corrosion resistant. Edge retention is going to be on-par with CPM S30V while being easier to resharpen. A great all-around blade steel.
