Product Description

Kershaw Livewire Tanto – Precision, Strength, and Premium American Performance

The Kershaw Livewire 9000T OTF Automatic Knife combines the lightning-fast deployment of Kershaw's flagship out-the-front platform with the reinforced strength of a CPM MagnaCut® tanto blade. Designed by Matt Diskin and proudly Made in the USA, the Livewire Tanto is engineered for users who demand exceptional durability, premium materials, and flawless mechanical performance.

With its rugged BlackWash™ finished tanto blade, lightweight aluminum handle, and incredibly smooth double-action OTF mechanism, the Livewire 9000T is built to perform whether it's carried every day, used on the job, or added to a premium knife collection.


Built Around CPM MagnaCut®

The 3.3-inch tanto blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut® stainless steel, one of the most advanced blade steels ever developed for production knives.

MagnaCut was engineered to maximize the three characteristics knife enthusiasts care about most:

Why MagnaCut Stands Above the Rest

🔪 Outstanding edge retention that keeps cutting longer

💧 Exceptional corrosion resistance in harsh environments

🛠 Superior toughness that resists chipping and breakage

⚡ Easier maintenance than many premium "super steels"

The reinforced tanto tip provides increased strength for piercing and precision work while maintaining excellent slicing performance for everyday cutting tasks.


Lightning-Fast Double-Action OTF Performance

The Livewire's precision-built double-action out-the-front automatic mechanism provides incredibly smooth blade deployment and retraction using an ergonomically designed thumb slider.

Every deployment feels crisp, positive, and remarkably refined.

⚙️ Fast blade deployment

⚙️ Fast blade retraction

⚙️ Smooth, repeatable operation

⚙️ Secure internal locking mechanism

The result is one of the smoothest production OTF actions available today.


Built to Carry Every Day

Constructed from 6061-T6 black anodized aluminum, the Livewire handle offers outstanding durability while weighing just 3.1 ounces.

Precision-machined texturing provides a confident grip without adding unnecessary bulk, while the reversible deep-carry pocket clip keeps the knife discreetly secured and ready whenever it's needed.

Slim, lightweight, and exceptionally balanced, the Livewire is designed for comfortable all-day carry.
