Kershaw® Launch 4™ Compact California-Legal Automatic Folder – CPM-154 – Black Anodized Aluminum – 7500BLK
The Kershaw® Launch 4™ Compact Automatic Folding Knife (7500BLK) is a premium, sub-compact everyday carry (EDC) cutting instrument meticulously engineered to balance lightning-fast mechanical action with maximum legal discretion. While full-sized automatic knives face strict structural bans and regional restrictions across numerous municipal zones, the Launch 4 is purpose-built to break through those legal barriers. Measuring with a blade length of exactly 1.90 inches, this tactical pocket rocket (087171041100) satisfies strict "California-Legal" automatic requirements, scaling down hard-hitting mechanical utility into a completely non-threatening, fifth-pocket friendly footprint.
The engineering core of the Launch 4 framework is its razor-sharp 1.90-inch spear point blade forged from premium, American-made CPM-154 powdered metallurgy stainless steel. This advanced alloy features a uniform carbide structure that takes an exceptionally fine edge, delivering high-tier wear resistance, outstanding corrosion defense, and impressive structural toughness under sudden impacts. Finished in a sleek, non-reflective Black DLC / Cerakote coating, the blade provides an extra layer of scratch protection and elements defense. The blade deploys instantly via a high-leverage coil spring automatic system, activated by a recessed push-button that sits completely flush with the handle scale to eliminate accidental pocket firing. To shed unnecessary pack weight, the monolithic full-grip chassis is machined from ultra-durable 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum finished in a deep black hard anodized sheen. Complete with a fixed tip-up pocket clip and an integrated backspacer, this featherweight 1.8-ounce micro-auto delivers premium domestic craftsmanship to your daily workflow.
Includes: (1) Kershaw Launch 4 Automatic Folding Knife (Black Coating CPM-154 / Black Aluminum Handle), Fixed Tip-Up Pocket Clip, and Factory Limited Lifetime Warranty Documentation.
