Product Description
The Kershaw Livewire Damascus (9000DAM) represents the ultimate intersection of modern tactical engineering and timeless artisan craftsmanship. As Kershaw’s premier American-made out-the-front (OTF) automatic, the Livewire has redefined the market with its lightning-fast action and world-class ergonomics. This high-end Damascus edition elevates the platform into a true collector’s masterpiece, replacing standard tool steel with a multi-layered, acid-etched Damascus blade that is as visually captivating as it is functional.
Designed in partnership with custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, the 9000DAM features a 3.3-inch spear point blade with a unique grain pattern—ensuring that no two knives are exactly alike. The handle is precision-machined from black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a lightweight yet rock-solid frame with a secure, textured grip. Equipped with a curved, staircase-style thumb slide, the Livewire offers rapid, effortless double-action deployment and retraction with minimal thumb fatigue. Whether you are looking for an executive-tier EDC or a centerpiece for your collection, the Livewire Damascus delivers "precision in motion" with an unmistakable edge.
