Few knives garner as much excitement as out-the-front automatics. After significant research, careful development, and rigorous testing, in-house designers and custom knifemaker Matt Diskin deliver Kershaw's first OTF auto: the Livewire. The premium CPM MagnaCut super steel blade opens and retracts with authority. The black-anodized aluminum handle is textured for a secure grip. And its curved, staircase-like button feels comfortable on the thumb for reliable deployment. In addition, this knife is a joy to carry due to its light weight and reversible deep-carry clip. Fans have been asking for it, and the Livewire is every bit worth the wait.

Very...
I know Kershaw is good but I had a bad Launch 7 I had to return so I gave the Livewire in magnacut a try and the sucker is NICE. I was gifted an OTF but it works as a OTF, glass breaker, and...boat anchor; way too heavy and it is about the same size as the Livewire, go figure. About the pocket clip, yeah, it's crazy tight but here's what I did: I slipped in an index card all the way into the clip to protect the surface of the handle, then I slipped all the way into the dlip a plastic, stiff chisel, then carefully with a bit of force lifted the chisel handle to stretch out the clip from the handle to get rid of a decent amount of tension WITHOUT overstretching the clip. After doing that several times, I got the tension to my liking and now it works fantastic as an EDC clip consistently. FYI, if you do overstretch it, just order another clip and be more careful next time.

Great...
The knife is great! The action is better than my ultra tech and E-knifes was great too. Very fast shipping and they give you a band aid. I thought this was very thoughtful because I don’t really consider the knife my knife until I accidentally cut myself at least once with it.

Great...
Let's start off with its an amazing knife for the price tag I cannot argue that enough especially the magnacut version. Has great action great feel, very light for an otf, my only gripe is the pocket clip it's terrible its way too tight almost unusable and that's the only reason it's going in my knife box with the rest of the gang when my microtech hera comes in.
