Kershaw Launch 8 7150 Automatic, CPM 154

Product Description

The Kershaw Launch 8 7150 is an automatic knife with a 3.5″ CPM 154 blade. It is part of the Launch series and is made in the USA. The blade is a plain single edge spear point with a stonewash finish, and it is 0.121″ thick.

The styling is classic stiletto. The handle is gray 6061-T6 aluminum with a carbon fiber insert, and the whole knife weighs 2.3 oz. Closed, it measures 4.75″. Open, it measures 8.25″ overall. That is a lot of blade for a knife this light.

Push button open and lock

A low profile push button opens the blade. The same style of push button works as the lock. The button sits low on the handle, so the profile stays clean. The steel is hardened to 58-60, which gives you a blade built to hold an edge through regular use.

This knife fits someone who carries every day and wants a quick, one-handed opening. It also suits collectors who like the stiletto look. For gear, a small sharpening stone or strop helps you keep the stonewashed edge in shape. A pocket organizer or a belt pouch keeps it with the rest of your carry items, such as a flashlight or multitool.
