KS9000: 9000 Diskin Livewire OTF AUTO

Kershaw Knives

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 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.

Solidly built and not looseness or rattle after many openings. Blade keeps its edge well.

Like this knife a lot
This is my first OTF knife and I love it. I find myself reaching for it more than anything else. It’s so easy to use. 

I’m not sure there is anything bad to say about it, other than the pocket clip. The angle is a little odd, but it’s not very noticeable. The spring weight to open and close the knife also isn’t too stiff. Some Microtech’s I’ve handled were much harder to open and close. Great knife overall and I’m glad I took the plunge
