Product Description

The Kershaw Livewire Damascus Tanto (9000TDAM) represents the pinnacle of American-made out-the-front (OTF) engineering fused with artisanal blade craft. Designed by custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, the Livewire has revolutionized the OTF category with its lightning-fast deployment and industry-leading ergonomics. This premium edition elevates the tactical platform by featuring a high-contrast Damascus steel tanto blade, making it a perfect centerpiece for collectors and high-end EDC enthusiasts alike.

The 3.3-inch tanto blade is forged from exquisite Damascus steel, offering a unique, swirling grain pattern that ensures no two knives are identical. The tanto geometry provides a reinforced tip for superior piercing power and structural durability. The handle is precision-machined from black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, deeply textured for a secure grip. Controlled by a curved, staircase-style thumb slide, the double-action mechanism fires and retracts with a mechanical smoothness and authoritative "thud" that sets the standard for USA-made automatics.
