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.
