Kershaw 9000PUR Matt Diskin Livewire OTF AUTO Knife 3.3" CPM-MagnaCut Stonewashed Spear Point Blade, Purple Aluminum Handles, Reversible Clip
Pros: Blade Material, Ease of Opening, Weight
Cons: None
Easy ejection for lefty or girls
Easy to open with a sharp blade. Had a jeweler inscribe a name on the blade and he said the machine was on the maximum setting to scratch it in. Lady friend loves it. Very compact even compared to my Microtech Ultratech but quality compares to Heretic Roc with it's powder coat feel on the handle. It's got a good grip but to me feels cheap compared to brushed aluminum. At least the blade is easy to eject for a girl or my left hand.

Anodized?
Really great value among the US made OTF category. Less force to open and close than a UTX-70 from Mircotech which makes it a little more fidget friendly. I also prefer the MagnaCut over the premium steels generally used by Microtech, but that doesn’t take into consideration the care with which the blades have been heat treated. My only knock against it is that the handle is listed as anodized. To me it appears to be more of a ceramic coating on the purple version. Solid 4.5/5. A whole mark isn’t fair for something that isn’t an art piece sitting in a display case.
