Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Purple & Black (9000PURBLK) brings a bold, high-visibility look to one of the most respected out-the-front (OTF) automatics on the market. Designed by renowned custom maker Matt Diskin, the Livewire has set a new industry standard for OTF reliability and smooth action. This version pairs a vibrant purple-anodized handle with a stealthy black-finished blade, creating a high-performance tool that stands out in any collection while delivering professional-grade tactical utility.
The 3.3-inch spear point blade is forged from CPM MagnaCut, the American-made "super steel" (60-64 HRC) that has taken the knife world by storm for its incredible toughness and total resistance to corrosion. The non-reflective black finish provides a tactical aesthetic and helps mask wear from daily use. The handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, featuring a curved, staircase-style thumb slide that makes deployment and retraction effortless. Lightweight, lightning-fast, and durable, the Livewire is the OTF fans have been waiting for.
