Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Blackout Serrated (9000BLKST) brings aggressive utility to Kershaw’s premier out-the-front platform. Designed in collaboration with custom knife expert Matt Diskin, the Livewire has redefined American-made OTF reliability. This "Blackout" edition features a partially serrated blade forged from the industry's most advanced steel, making it an essential tactical tool for those who need to power through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, or zip ties without sacrificing a razor-sharp plain edge for precision slicing.
The 3.36-inch spear point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, a revolutionary "super steel" (60-63 HRC) engineered to provide extreme toughness, incredible edge retention, and total rust immunity. The stealthy black finish on the blade and hardware provides a non-reflective, cohesive aesthetic. The handle is precision-machined from black-anodized aluminum, featuring unique milling for a "locked-in" grip. Equipped with a curved, staircase-like thumb slide, the Livewire offers effortless double-action deployment and retraction with minimal thumb fatigue, setting a new standard for OTF ergonomics.
