Kershaw Livewire OTF Auto Red Aluminum Handle 3.3in Blackwashed Spear Point Blade AUKS9000MERL

The Kershaw Livewire OTF Automatic Knife is a standout in the world of tactical and everyday carry knives, combining precision engineering with a bold, striking design. Engineered collaboratively by Kershaw Originals and custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, this out-the-front automatic knife is built for reliability, speed, and ease of use, making it a trusted tool for collectors, enthusiasts, and professionals alike.

At the heart of the Livewire is a 3.3-inch CPM MagnaCut spear point blade with a blackwashed finish. This premium steel is cryogenically treated to an HRC of 62-64, ensuring exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The plain edge provides clean, precise cuts, making it versatile enough for everyday tasks, tactical applications, and emergency situations. The spear point profile offers an ideal balance of piercing capability and slicing performance, giving users confidence in every deployment.

The knife’s automatic OTF mechanism allows for rapid one-handed deployment via a sliding button, backed by a secure internal OTF lock that keeps the blade firmly in place when open or closed. Its design prioritizes both functionality and safety, so users can rely on consistent performance without compromise. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip enables discreet tip-down carry on either side, enhancing convenience and accessibility.

The handle is crafted from durable 6061-T6 aluminum with a vibrant red anodized finish. Measuring 0.49 inches thick, it provides a comfortable and secure grip, while the lightweight design keeps the knife at just over three ounces. At 4.8 inches closed and 8.1 inches overall, the Livewire strikes a perfect balance between portability and usability. Every aspect, from the red anodized aluminum handle to the precision-crafted blackwashed blade, reflects the meticulous attention to detail and quality control Kershaw is known for.

Designed and manufactured in the USA, this knife embodies the highest standards of American craftsmanship, from the initial prototype to the final quality control inspection. Its bold styling, high-performance steel, and innovative OTF mechanism make it a knife that’s as capable as it is visually striking.
