Kershaw Livewire 9000R folding knife

The Kershaw Livewire 9000R is an elegant automatic knife designed by respected knifemaker Matt Diskin. The knife is distinguished by its simple and functional form, great mechanics and an aggressive tanto blade made of CPM MagnaCut super steel.

Features of the OTF Kershaw Livewire 9000R tactical knife:

• Super CPM MagnaCut steel - maximum durability and resistance. The head of the knife is made of one of the world's best steels - CPM MagnaCut powder steel.
• Reverse Tanto blade - precision and strength in one. The aggressive blade with Reverse Tanto profile offers excellent penetration and cutting properties.
• OTF Double Action System - instant readiness for action. Instantly extend and retract the blade with a single slide motion.
• PVD coating - elegance and protection of the blade. The matte black finish of the blade gives the knife a professional, tactical look, while effectively protecting it from scratches and marks of use.
• 6061-T6 aluminum handle - lightweight and durable. The aircraft-grade aluminum body ensures not only robustness and resistance to external conditions, but also low weight.
• Deep Carry clip - discreet and convenient carry. The deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife in your pocket in a low profile.

Kershaw Livewire 9000 - OTF tactical knife in CPM MagnaCut steel.

The knife has an 84mm long blade, made of CPM MagnaCut super stainless steel produced with powder technology. The main difference between CPM MagnaCut steel and other stainless steels is the amount of chromium. The elimination of chromium carbides from the steel's composition has resulted in a fine microstructure, making CPM MagnaCut much easier to sharpen compared to steels with similar wear resistance.

The absence of chromium carbides has not only improved the balance of strength and wear resistance, but also its resistance to corrosion. CPM MagnaCut combines the strength of CPM-4V, the corrosion resistance of CPM-20CV, the retention of CPM-CruWear/ CPM-4V and an impressive hardness of as much as 64 HRC, making it now considered one of the world's best steels used in factory-made knives.

When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.

Thanks to the Reverse Tanto type wedge, the Kershaw Livewire has very good penetration properties.

Kershaw Livewire 9000R - a reliable spring knife with a tanto head

The slim military-style Reverx Tanto blade has a matte black PVD finish, which effectively masks any scratches or abrasions to the blade from use. Thanks to its sharp hilt and flat grind, the knife penetrates easily and has excellent cutting qualities.

The highlight of the automatic knife is its comfortable unfolding system - Double Action OTF (Out-The-Front). Unlike models with an assisted head, in knives of this type unfolding and retracting the blade only requires moving the notched slider. It is responsible for releasing the spring located in the handle, which gravity ejects and retracts the blade in the handle. Wanting to fold the knife, it is only necessary to move the slider "to itself".

Instant readiness and ease of use make the "automatics" very popular among soldiers, uniformed service personnel and the rapidly growing group of EDC enthusiasts.

The knife has streamlined liners made of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum. Wanting to provide the user with a secure grip, the handle on fine texturing on the edges. Discreetly carrying the knife in a pocket is made possible by a deep-carry clip, which can be switched to the other side.
