About

Few knives garner as much excitement as out-the-front automatics. After significant research, careful development, and rigorous testing, in-house designers and custom knifemaker Matt Diskin deliver Kershaw's first OTF auto: the Livewire. The premium CPM MagnaCut blade features superior edge retention and opens and retracts with authority. The black-anodized aluminum handle is textured for a secure grip. And its curved, staircase-like button feels comfortable on the thumb for reliable deployment. In addition, this knife is a joy to carry due to its light weight and reversible deep-carry clip. Fans have been asking for it, and the Livewire is every bit worth the wait.

  • Made-in-the-USA out-the-front automatic; Kershaw Originals and Matt Diskin design
  • Premium CPM MagnaCut powdered metallurgy blade steel excels in edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance; stonewashed finish helps hide use scratches
  • Black-anodized aluminum handle, lightweight strength; texturing enhances grip
  • Deep-carry pocketclip is easily reversible for left/right carry
  • Please note that older models use CPM 20CV blade steel. Current production models are built with CPM MagnaCut.
