CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kershaw Launch 12 Teal takes classic stiletto-inspired design and reworks it into a compact, hard-hitting automatic built for modern carry. This out-the-side auto deploys fast and clean with a push-button lock, launching a 2.4" CPM 154 stainless steel dagger blade with authority. The blade features a black DLC coating for added corrosion resistance and stealthy good looks, all while holding a razor edge through heavy use.
The anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle scales come in a striking teal finish with a finely textured surface for reliable grip without excess bulk. At just 3.7" closed and weighing a mere 1.9 ounces, the Launch 12 disappears in the pocket until the moment you need it. A low-profile stainless steel pocket clip rides ambidextrous and tip-up, making it ideal for right- or left-handed users.
Precision-built in the USA and loaded with premium materials, the Launch 12 isn’t just an EDC—it’s a purpose-built, high-performance automatic that’s always ready to go. The size might be compact, but the attitude’s anything but.
