Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Blackout (9000BLK) is the tactical pinnacle of Kershaw’s out-the-front lineup. A result of a high-performance collaboration with renowned designer Matt Diskin, this USA-made OTF combines a "triple-black" aesthetic with the world’s most advanced blade steel. Engineered for those who demand stealth, speed, and uncompromising durability, the Livewire Blackout delivers a seamless, powerful action that has quickly made it a legend in the automatic knife community.
This model features a 3.3-inch spear point blade forged from CPM MagnaCut, the revolutionary American super steel (62-64 HRC) that offers an unmatched balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. The blade is finished in a durable Black PVD coating to reduce glare and provide an extra layer of protection. The black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle is sculpted for maximum ergonomics, featuring a curved, staircase-like thumb slide finished in black Cerakote. This tiered button design ensures a comfortable, slip-resistant firing experience that is significantly smoother than traditional OTF mechanisms.
