Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Tanto (9000TSW) is a tactical powerhouse engineered for those who demand absolute reliability in an out-the-front (OTF) automatic. Designed in collaboration with custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, the Livewire has quickly become a gold standard in the industry for its exceptionally smooth, double-action performance. This variant features a rugged stonewashed tanto blade paired with a classic black-anodized handle, offering a professional aesthetic that is ready for heavy-duty use.
The 3.3-inch blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, the American-made "super steel" (62-64 HRC) that has revolutionized the knife world with its unprecedented balance of extreme toughness and total corrosion resistance. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for high-force piercing, while the stonewashed finish expertly hides the scratches and wear of daily work. The handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and outfitted with a curved, staircase-style thumb slide finished in charcoal gray Cerakote, specifically designed to follow the natural arc of your thumb for effortless, rapid-fire deployment.
