Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Aurum (9000RAWGLD) is a striking, high-performance out-the-front (OTF) automatic that combines industrial aesthetics with "super steel" performance. As a premium variant of Kershaw’s first-ever OTF, the Aurum stands out with its brilliant Gold PVD finished blade contrasted against a Raw 6061-T6 aluminum handle. Designed in collaboration with custom maker Matt Diskin, the Livewire has been meticulously engineered to eliminate the stiff deployment and excessive "blade play" common in other OTFs, offering instead a buttery-smooth, double-action experience that is second to none.
The 3.3-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, the American-made steel that has revolutionized the industry with its incredible edge retention and total corrosion resistance. The Gold PVD finish isn't just for show—it provides a hard-wearing barrier that hides scratches and use marks while adding a touch of luxury to your tactical loadout. Equipped with a signature "staircase" thumb slide, the Livewire Aurum fires with authoritative speed and retracts just as effortlessly. Proudly made in the USA, this 3.0-ounce powerhouse is the perfect blend of shop-floor durability and executive style.
