The Kershaw Livewire 9000RAWGLD delivers premium American-made OTF performance with a striking combination of raw aluminum and gold accents. Designed by Matt Diskin, this special edition Livewire pairs a gold PVD-coated CPM MagnaCut blade with a raw aluminum handle, creating a sophisticated, collector-worthy look while maintaining the lightweight performance and reliability that have made the Livewire one of Kershaw’s most popular automatic knives.
At the core of the 9000RAWGLD is a CPM MagnaCut spear point blade. MagnaCut is widely regarded as one of the most advanced blade steels available today, offering an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The spear point blade profile provides outstanding versatility with excellent piercing capability, precise tip control, and efficient slicing performance for everyday cutting tasks.
The gold PVD blade finish gives this model a distinctive premium appearance while adding additional surface protection against wear and corrosion. Complementing the blade is a raw aluminum handle that showcases the natural beauty of the machined aluminum chassis. The result is a clean, modern aesthetic that stands apart from traditional coated or anodized OTF designs.
Kershaw’s double-action out-the-front mechanism provides smooth, reliable deployment and retraction through a textured thumb slide. The Livewire platform has earned widespread praise for its crisp action, lightweight construction, and comfortable ergonomics. At just over three ounces, it offers full-size cutting performance without becoming cumbersome in the pocket.
The reversible deep-carry pocket clip supports both right- and left-handed users, while the precision-machined aluminum frame provides excellent strength and durability for everyday carry. Proudly made in the USA, the Kershaw Livewire 9000RAWGLD combines premium materials, standout styling, and dependable OTF performance into one exceptional package.
