Kershaw Livewire - Double-Action - Best USA Made EDC Knife
Discover the Kershaw Livewire, Kershaw's first double-action knife in this style, engineered for high performance and everyday carry. Launched in 2023 as a collaboration between Kershaw's team and custom knifemaker Matt Diskin, the Livewire quickly earned the BLADE Show 2024 Auto of the Year award. This double-action auto features a 3.3-inch blade that deploys and retracts with a simple push or pull of the stepped thumb slide, delivering fast, reliable action with every use.
Crafted with a lightweight, textured 6061-T6 aluminum handle, the Kershaw Livewire weighs just 3 ounces, making it easy for everyday carry. The staircase-style deployment button ensures smooth, secure blade operation. The reversible deep-carry pocket clip positions the knife discreetly and conveniently, making it ideal for EDC enthusiasts. Measuring 4.8 inches closed and 8.1 inches overall, the Livewire offers the perfect size for pocket carry and practical use.
Current production Kershaw Livewire knives feature premium CPM MagnaCut blade steel, heat-treated to 62-64 HRC for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance—ideal qualities for a hard-use automatic. Earlier models used CPM 20CV, another top-performing steel. The 0.125-inch-thick blade is robust enough for demanding tasks without unnecessary bulk, making the Livewire a reliable choice for both professionals and knife collectors.
Proudly made in the USA, the Kershaw Livewire is manufactured to the highest standards. Each knife features precise fit and finish, minimal blade play, and consistently smooth action, ensuring top-tier performance every time.
Choose from a variety of Kershaw Livewire configurations, including spear-point, tanto, reverse tanto, and double-edge blades, to suit any cutting need. Handle options range from textured aluminum in black, olive green, or all-black PVD to a carbon fiber variant with a striking two-tone blade finish. Whether for EDC, work, or collection, there's a Livewire model for every preference.
DLT Trading offers professional knife engraving on the Kershaw Livewire, making it a standout choice for personalized gifts or unique everyday carry.
With its double-action automatic mechanism, the Kershaw Livewire can be opened and closed one-handed—essential for tradespeople, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who values quick, safe access to their knife. The Livewire delivers premium performance at a competitive price, proving that Kershaw builds world-class automatic knives in the USA.
