Out-the-front automatics are a category that always generates excitement, and Kershaw has delivered a standout entry with the Livewire—their very first OTF auto. After extensive research, thoughtful development, and rigorous testing, Kershaw’s in-house team and custom knifemaker Matt Diskin created a knife that lives up to the hype.
 
The 3.30-inch CPM-MagnaCut blade offers top-tier edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its spear-point design with a stonewashed finish exudes strength and elegance, while the authoritative action ensures quick, reliable deployment and retraction every time.
 
The blue anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle is both lightweight and durable, with a textured surface for a secure grip during use. Its ergonomic design includes a curved, staircase-style button that’s comfortable under the thumb, making it easy to operate. A reversible deep-carry clip enhances portability, ensuring the Livewire is as convenient to carry as it is to use.
 
The Livewire is the result of Kershaw’s dedication to precision and quality. Whether you’re a collector or an enthusiast looking for a premium everyday carry option, the Livewire is a knife that’s worth the wait.
