Product Details
Launch 9™ 1.8" Stonewash Drop Point Folding Knife by Kershaw®. With its under-2-inch blade, the Launch 9 may look like a smaller version of their best-selling Launch 2, but it has its own appeal. Its compact size makes it easy to carry-and appropriate in a variety of situations where you wouldn't pull out a more aggressive-looking knife. Built of the same upgraded materials as the rest of the Launch series, the Launch 9's blade has a “working” finish-somewhat rougher than stonewashed to easily hide the scuffs that a working knife earns on the job.
