Kershaw Livewire OTF CPM-MagnaCut Two-tone Reverse Tanto Black Aluminum Handles KS9000R
Few knives generate as much anticipation as an out-the-front automatic, and the Kershaw Livewire delivers on every front. After years of research, meticulous design, and rigorous testing, Kershaw partnered with custom knifemaker Matt Diskin to create their first OTF auto—and it’s every bit worth the wait.
The CPM MagnaCut blade deploys and retracts with precision and authority, offering top-tier edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its tiger stripe finish conceals wear and adds tactical appeal. The black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle provides lightweight strength and a confident grip, while the curved, staircase-style button ensures reliable and comfortable operation.
Designed and built in the USA, the Livewire embodies Kershaw’s performance-driven craftsmanship. Compact, lightweight, and refined, it’s a standout everyday carry for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
