Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Raw Aluminum (9000RAW) is a masterclass in industrial minimalism. Stripping away traditional anodized coatings, this edition showcases the precision machining of the 6061-T6 aluminum handle in its natural, "raw" state. Designed by custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, the Livewire has set a new benchmark for American-made out-the-front (OTF) automatics, combining a rock-solid internal locking mechanism with an ergonomic profile that is as functional as it is visually striking.
At its core is a 3.3-inch spear point blade forged from CPM MagnaCut, the revolutionary American super steel (60-64 HRC) that provides extreme toughness, superior edge retention, and total immunity to corrosion. The blade’s stonewashed finish perfectly complements the raw aluminum handle, offering a rugged, work-ready look that hides scratches and wear with ease. The double-action firing mechanism is controlled by a curved, staircase-style thumb slide, delivering rapid, authoritative deployment and retraction with industry-leading smoothness.
