The Kershaw Livewire OTF Automatic Knife, 3.3-inch Black PVD Reverse Tanto (brand part no. 9000R) is an out-the-front (OTF) automatic knife from Kershaw, built around a 3.3 inches CPM MagnaCut Steel blade ground into a reverse tanto shape with a strong, angled tip for piercing cuts. That choice of steel brings a modern powder steel prized for edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in one package, while the handle in textured black anodized aluminum keeps the knife light in the hand without giving up durability. It also adds black PVD flats with satin-ground bevels for a two-tone look, a curved, staircase-style button shaped for the thumb and a reversible, deep-carry pocket clip. Deployment is fast and one-handed, ready the instant you need to put the blade to work.
