The Kershaw 9000 Livewire is a made-in-the-USA out-the-front automatic knife that delivers the speed and reliability serious knife users demand. Designed by Kershaw Originals in collaboration with custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, the Livewire brings genuine OTF functionality to Kershaw's lineup—no gimmicks, just a purpose-built tool engineered for confident, repeatable deployment. Whether you're carrying for everyday tasks, tactical readiness, or the field, this is a knife that earns its place in your gear rotation.
The blade is where the Livewire proves its mettle. Kershaw spec'd this with CPM MagnaCut powdered metallurgy steel—a premium stainless that balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in one package. The stonewashed finish is practical too: it hides the scuffs and scratches that come with real use, so your knife looks solid after months in a pack or on the belt. The spear-point profile gives you a versatile edge suitable for slicing, detail work, and general cutting without the aggressive tip geometry that limits versatility.
In hand, the Livewire is built to stay put and perform consistently. The textured black-anodized aluminum handle provides secure purchase even when things get wet or grimy, while keeping the overall weight down—a major plus if you're carrying daily or on extended trips. Deployment is controlled and authoritative thanks to a curved, staircase-profile button that feels natural under your thumb. Retracting is just as deliberate: the internal lock mechanism keeps things locked up tight until you're ready to fire it again. The reversible deep-carry pocket clip adapts to your carry preference—tip-down, right or left hand—so you can configure the knife however works best for you.
