Product Description

The Kershaw Livewire Napa Merlo (9000MERL) is a premium out-the-front (OTF) automatic that combines high-end aesthetics with world-class tactical performance. Designed in collaboration with custom knife maker Matt Diskin, the Livewire has redefined the OTF market with its incredibly smooth, low-friction deployment and rock-solid reliability. This stunning variant features a deep Napa Merlo anodized handle, providing a rich, wine-red finish that perfectly complements the rugged, non-reflective BlackWash™ blade.

The 3.3-inch spear point blade is forged from CPM MagnaCut (62-64 HRC), the American "super steel" that offers an industry-leading balance of extreme toughness and total corrosion resistance. The BlackWash™ finish hides scratches and wear, ensuring the blade maintains its tactical look through years of use. Deployment is lightning-fast and comfortable thanks to the signature "staircase" thumb slide, which follows the natural arc of the thumb to reduce friction. Proudly made in the USA, the 9000MERL is the ultimate executive tactical tool.
