Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Raw (9000RAWBLK) offers an industrial, high-tech aesthetic to one of the most successful out-the-front (OTF) designs in modern knifemaking. Designed in collaboration with custom maker Matt Diskin, the Livewire series has redefined the OTF market with a double-action mechanism that is notably smoother and easier to deploy than its competitors. This unique version features a Raw 6061-T6 aluminum handle, showcasing the clean, uncolored look of precision-machined metal, paired with a stealthy Black finished blade.
The 3.3-inch spear point blade is forged from CPM MagnaCut, the American-made "super steel" (60-64 HRC) that has taken the industry by storm with its nearly perfect balance of extreme toughness, edge retention, and total corrosion resistance. The non-reflective black finish provides a sharp contrast against the silver raw handle. The handle itself features strategic milling for a locked-in grip and houses the industry-leading "staircase" thumb slide, which follows the natural arc of the thumb to minimize friction and prevent thumb fatigue during deployment and retraction.
-
