The Kershaw Livewire Tanto is a hard-hitting out-the-front automatic built for serious use and proudly made in the USA. At its core is a 3.3" CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel blade with a BlackWash finish that gives it a worn-in, tactical look while boosting corrosion resistance and wear tolerance. The tanto profile delivers excellent tip strength and piercing power, making it ideal for both utility and defensive roles. A reliable thumb slide mechanism deploys and retracts the blade with clean, fast action, locking up tight when engaged.
The handle is crafted from black anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum—lightweight but built to take a beating. Precision machining and ergonomic shaping offer a comfortable grip with excellent control, while the ambidextrous setup makes it suitable for right- or left-handed carry. A deep-carry stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife secure and discreet in the pocket, while the 4.8" closed length and 3.1oz weight make it an easy addition to your everyday gear without slowing you down.
Whether you're on duty, out in the field, or just want a blade that performs without compromise, the Livewire Tanto delivers premium materials, precision construction, and rock-solid deployment every time.
