Just In! Kershaw Launch 8 Stiletto Automatic Knife 7150

[Perryknifeworks]

Inspired by the look of classic Italian stilettos, the Kershaw Launch 8 modernizes this traditional design for a new generation of knife enthusiasts. The Kershaw Launch 8 features the sleek, symmetrical lines of a stiletto in a push-button knife that’s lightweight—only 2.4 ounces—and easy-to-carry. The blade is CPM 154 with a stonewashed finish. The slim blade is sharpened on one side, and it has a deep top grind to lighten weight and add stiletto style.

The handle is gray anodized aluminum with a handsome carbon fiber insert. To maintain the Launch 8’s symmetrical look, the pivot is sunk deep in the handle and covered by the insert. Integrated finger-guards on both top and bottom of the handle keep fingers away from danger. The Launch 8 also has a reversible pocketclip (right/left, tip-up) for convenient carry.

These knives are what the modern Italian Stiletto should be: Effective as a defensive knife as well as a great pocket implement/tool.

I live about 41 miles from where they are manufactured. This is the most "user-friendly" stiletto blade in the industry! The CPM-154 steel is great, is razor-sharp and has a needle-point. My nickname for the piece came from the Season 1 Episode 1 of Yancy Derringer entitled "Return To New Orleans" (1959 Desilu Studios). I call it "my apple peeler".

As I took it out of the package this morning, I was pleased beyond measure. This is, by definition, the best "pocket Stiletto" in the world! Tight and cracks like a whip when opened. It can even be opened with two fingers (No "bounce-back" at all). It has everything I want, nothing that isn't needed. I'm "happier than a speckled pup under a red wagon".

If anyone doubts my words, remember that I "put my money where my mouth is".
