Part #: KS9000T | Kershaw Knives
Description
KS9000T: 9000T Diskin Livewire OTF AUTO - Tanto
Kershaw Knives
Kershaw and designer Matt Diskin team up for an ultra-strong OTF auto: the Livewire - Tanto. The premium CPM MagnaCut blade features superior edge retention and opens and retracts with authority. And with a tanto blade shape, the tip is reliable and makes piercing cuts with ease. The stealthy BlackWash finish is a perfect fit for this rugged blade shape. Speaking of stealthy, 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 lightweight and reversible deep-carry clip. For a Livewire with even more toughness, choose the tanto version.

Great DA switch
I use this knife currently for opening boxes and packages. I love how smooth the double action switch is as well as the sharpness of the knife. It is constructed very well and has a good feel in hand.
