Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Tiger Stripe (9000TS) is a high-performance tactical out-the-front (OTF) automatic that demands attention. Designed by custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, the Livewire has shattered expectations for OTF reliability and ease of use. This unique variant features a bold Tiger Stripe blade finish, giving it a distinct, aggressive look that stands out in any collection. Whether you're looking for an American-made workhorse or a tactical centerpiece, the 9000TS delivers world-class action and "super steel" durability.
The 3.36-inch spear point blade is forged from CPM MagnaCut (60-63 HRC), the revolutionary powdered metallurgy steel that offers a virtually impossible balance of high toughness, elite edge retention, and total corrosion resistance. The Tiger Stripe finish (Black and Gray) is as durable as it is striking, masking wear from heavy use. The handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with distinctive milling for a locked-in grip. With its curved, staircase-style thumb slide, the Livewire deploys and retracts with a smoothness that reduces thumb fatigue, making it the most user-friendly OTF on the market.
