Kershaw Livewire Full-Size OTF Knife 9000BLK - 3.3" Black Blade

The Kershaw Livewire Full-Size OTF Knife is a purpose-built out-the-front automatic that delivers smooth, decisive action in a compact carry package. Designed by Matt Diskin in collaboration with Kershaw, this 3.3" black blade OTF brings serious cutting performance to everyday carry, tactical work, or field use without the bulk. The all-black aesthetic—from the PVD-coated blade to the anodized aluminum handle—gives you a professional tool that looks as capable as it performs.

At its heart is CPM MagnaCut powdered metallurgy steel, a premium blade material engineered for edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. That means your edge stays sharper longer, holds up under real work, and resists rust in wet conditions. The curved staircase-style button is shaped for your thumb, making deployment reliable and intuitive every time you need to access the blade. Retraction is equally smooth and controlled.

Carry comfort matters, and Kershaw kept that in mind. The Livewire is light enough that you'll forget it's in your pocket, yet the handle's black anodized aluminum construction delivers genuine strength. The reversible deep-carry clip works for lefties or righties, and the whole knife is made in the USA—a hallmark of Kershaw's commitment to quality. Whether you're using it on the range, in the field, or as a backup blade, the Livewire is a no-nonsense cutting tool that doesn't ask you to compromise on performance or practicality.
