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 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.

Best,...
I selected this knife after watching many reviews. It was the only knife that passed every test. It is sleek and easy to carry. The minimal blade rattle disappeared when I oiled it with break free CLP. My new daily carry.

Awesome...
The size, the weight and the action are great. Light enough to carry in any pocket so making this an edc is a very easy decision. Great quality and I honestly feel like it is worth the price. I will be purchasing from EKnives again for sure with their great and friendly customer service.

Monopolizing my pocket!
The Kershaw Livewire is easily my most carried knife since I purchased it. It's got a great blade shape, awesome fit and finish, but the action......it's impossible to not play with this thing! It's super smooth, and fires with so much power I worn other people about the kick the first time they fire it. I can't say enough good things about Eknives either. Shipping was really fast and all communication was super friendly....just a really great company and group of people!

My New...
This is a very high quality knife. On another note; EKnife will be my first choice for my next knife purchase because of the professionalism, customer care and ease of transaction. Thanks so much, Kevin Rehl Sr.

Live Wire is Live...
Kershaw nailed this one. Matt Diskin Designed a fantastic auto. The action is smooth and the contoured handles with some textured lines fits my hand perfectly. The blade came razor sharp and perfectly ground. Kershaw’s first ever OTF is ?. Can’t wait to see their next one.

My New Favorite...
I’ve carried an auto EDC since 2007, and those are from the likes of Benchmade, Microtech, Protech and Kershaw. The new Livewire OTF surprised me by checking so many boxes of an ideal EDC. From the size/form factor to the action and even the low profile deep carry clip, I love this knife.
