Kershaw Launch 8 Automatic Stiletto Knife Stonewash/Raw Aluminum and Black Carbon Fiber AUKS7150RAW

The Kershaw Launch 8 Automatic Stiletto blends classic Italian styling with modern materials and precision American manufacturing. Slim, symmetrical, and purpose-built for everyday carry, it captures the unmistakable profile of a traditional stiletto while delivering the reliability and performance expected from a contemporary automatic knife.

The blade measures 3.5 inches and is crafted from CPM-154 stainless steel, a premium American steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. Shaped into a sleek spear point, the blade offers balanced piercing capability and controlled slicing performance, making it a practical option for a wide range of daily cutting tasks. A rugged stonewash finish helps hide wear from regular use while adding to the knife’s understated tactical look.

Fast, decisive deployment comes from the out-the-side automatic mechanism. A press of the button sends the blade into action with authority, while the same button also serves as the lock, keeping the blade securely in place during use. The mechanism is smooth, dependable, and designed for one-handed operation when speed and convenience matter.

The handle is crafted from lightweight black aluminum and accented with a carbon fiber inlay that adds both visual contrast and modern style. The slim profile keeps the knife comfortable in the pocket while maintaining a secure grip during use. A tip-up pocket clip ensures the Launch 8 rides discreetly and is always within easy reach when needed.

Measuring 8.25 inches overall and weighing just 2.4 ounces, the Launch 8 delivers full-size capability in a streamlined package that carries easily throughout the day.
