Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Dagger (9000DEST) is the most aggressive and tactically versatile entry in the premier Livewire series. Designed by custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, this model transitions the Livewire’s legendary smooth action into a double-edged powerhouse. Featuring a Black PVD-coated dagger blade and precision-milled handles, the 9000DEST is built for professionals who demand high-speed deployment and the unrelenting performance of CPM MagnaCut steel.
The 3.45-inch double-edged dagger blade is forged from CPM MagnaCut, the American "super steel" (62-64 HRC) that has redefined the industry with its perfect balance of toughness, edge retention, and total corrosion resistance. This "Desert" variant features a non-reflective black PVD finish and partial serrations on both edges, providing the aggressive bite needed to power through cordage, webbing, and tough synthetic materials. The 6061-T6 aluminum handle is anodized in deep black and features a curved, staircase-style thumb slide for the most reliable and comfortable double-action experience on the market.
