Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Gray Tanto (9000TGRYSW) is a tactical masterpiece that brings the incredible strength of a tanto profile to Kershaw's premier out-the-front (OTF) platform. Designed by custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, the Livewire has revolutionized the OTF market with its industry-leading action and superior ergonomics. This edition combines a professional Gray-anodized handle with a CPM MagnaCut tanto blade, offering maximum piercing power and structural durability for the most demanding tactical and utility tasks.
The 3.3-inch tanto blade is forged from CPM MagnaCut, the ultimate American super steel (60-64 HRC). MagnaCut is engineered to deliver extreme toughness and edge retention while remaining virtually immune to rust. The blade’s stonewashed finish provides a rugged, matte look that expertly hides scratches from heavy daily use. The handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, featuring a textured grip and a curved, staircase-style thumb slide. This design allows for rapid, authoritative double-action deployment and retraction with a mechanical smoothness that sets a new standard for American-made OTFs.
