The Kershaw 9000CF Livewire delivers premium out-the-front performance with its CPM MagnaCut steel blade and carbon fiber accented aluminum handle. This double-action OTF knife combines cutting-edge metallurgy with precision engineering for professionals who demand reliability in critical situations.
What Makes This Different
The Livewire features CPM MagnaCut steel, a powder metallurgy stainless steel that achieves 62-64 HRC hardness while maintaining superior corrosion resistance. Unlike traditional stainless steels that sacrifice edge retention for rust resistance, MagnaCut delivers both properties without compromise. The black PVD coating adds additional corrosion protection and reduces light reflection.
Key Features
- CPM MagnaCut steel blade with 62-64 HRC hardness rating
- 3.35-inch dagger-style blade with double-edge geometry
- Double-action OTF mechanism for single-handed operation
- Black anodized aluminum handle with carbon fiber inlays
- Black PVD blade coating for enhanced corrosion resistance
- Ambidextrous thumb slide activation
- Deep carry pocket clip for discreet carry
The double-action mechanism allows blade deployment and retraction with thumb slide operation in both directions. The dagger profile provides balanced cutting geometry suitable for utility tasks while maintaining the aggressive appearance tactical users prefer. The anodized aluminum construction keeps overall weight minimal while the carbon fiber accents provide enhanced grip texture.
