CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kershaw Launch 12 with teal handles and a stonewashed blade takes the compact automatic design of the original and adds a bold splash of color and a rugged finish. Inspired by classic Italian stilettos, this California-legal auto features a 1.9" spear point blade crafted from CPM-154 stainless steel, known for its balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. The stonewashed finish gives it a work-ready look and hides scratches from everyday use.
Firing with authority at the press of a low-profile button, the Launch 12 opens fast and locks up tight, thanks to precision machining and a hardened steel pivot. The handle is lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized in a vivid teal that stands out without being flashy. A carbon fiber inlay not only enhances the grip but adds contrast and character, giving the knife a modern look grounded in traditional style.
Weighing just 1.9 ounces and measuring only 3.25" closed, it’s easy to carry all day without even noticing it’s there—until you need it. The deep-carry pocket clip is reversible for left- or right-hand tip-up carry, making it just as versatile as it is eye-catching. Whether it’s riding in your waistband, clipped to a bag, or tucked into your pocket, the Launch 12 delivers quick access and dependable performance in a sleek, lightweight package.
Proudly made in the USA, this knife is built for those who value everyday readiness and compact capability, all wrapped in a striking teal finish that doesn’t shy away from attention.
