[@jonp96]

Just ordered this and it's gonna be my first automatic OTF because owning and carrying autos, switchblades, balisongs, etc. have finally been legalized here in Hawaii

[@gideonstactical]

Awesome! Congrats

[@joshpulliam]

I LOVE my Kershaw Livewire! I picked up a blue one with the stonewashed bayonet blade at my local knife store back in December and I have carried it almost exclusively ever since! The action is so much better than my Microtechs.

[@Fat_Thor_1138]

I only own one otf and it’s the budget lightning. It’s my current edc. Works great. I’ll definitely give this kershaw a look when I get the money.

[@MichaelThompson-sp1hi]

I just ordered mine. My first OFT

[@mkgruff]

I love mine!

[@SOMNIOHM]

*_Claymore OTF Review Please!_*

[@thatisatastybeverage]

I highly recommend these OTF's. Bought one for my wife and myself! Great super light EDC!!

[@erichall6627]

I picked up the uncoated bayonet style in Magnacut a couple of months ago. I absolutely love it and it's one of my most-carried knives.

[@jonathancamps9853]

Heat treated at 62-64. 👍

[@thaknobodi]

Who tested? Their website listen them at 60-62 i believe

[@loganvarozza4954]

I got the same all black double edge and I absolutely love it! Beats my michrotech ultratech for sure! I ended up replacing the black with anodized purple screws and it looks absolutely beautiful

[@Paul_Kasper]

Congrats again on your 250K subs!!!

[@gideonstactical]

Thanks so much, huge giveaways this coming week!

[@manuellucero8414]

Love the tanto version

[@YO-ur5yl]

I have it, love it, and agree with the clip size issue.

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Aaron, great point on variety mate, I dont think these are good defence tools anyway, more about the fidget and cool factors I reckon. Back in the day we could get the odd auto here, (minus the spring), the one I particularly remember was like a "medieval dagger", far more interesting than something presented as a space age tactical weapon IMO. Cheers Duke.

[@jeffjacobs1503]

I have the Livewire w/drop point Magnacut and it really is a great OTF. I have only two complaints: 1) the pocket clip and 2) the grip of this doesn’t impart a lot of confidence. The handle is a bit too smooth for my taste. I may try the carbon fiber version. Other wise, I love this knife when compared to my other OTFs this one wins hands down.

[@jayr526]

It's on my list.

[@aaronhome27]

Giving an 8 for the pocket clip is extremely generous. I bought one, got the cf model, and don't carry it due to the clip. Don't know who designed that for Kershaw but it's so much of a pain that a lot of people who have bought it don't carry it as well. I'll carry it when I can find a replacement clip. Till then it sits in a drawer and I won't be buying more as I had planned too.

[@killough71010]

I agree, the clip sucks. Love the livewire, the easiest otf to actuate I've come across. Easier that my microtech Glycon, ultratech, and Hogue Compound. It's a joy to use, but the pocket clip sucks. Mine came so tight that i nearly pulled my pants down, trying to get it to clip to my pocket. I had to bend out the clip a tad to make it work.

[@gdude7397]

I really struggled with choosing between the DE and Tanto blades. If they offered a Tanto serrated, that would have swayed me, but I went with the DE because that's the one blade that is only going to work with an OTF, double action knife. It would be insane to carry a single action OTF knife with DE blade, especially a sharp one - especially if you're on a blood thinner as I am. Do you care to explain the right application/ benefits of a Tanto blade?

[@grandillusion52]

Great review. I would love a ZT otf while they’re at it.

[@jlogue751]

Agree..zt otf and ots autos...they are missing the boat on that.

[@jeffd3802]

Wouldn't we all. But u know the zt price tag would be at least double.😂

[@thaknobodi]

What a coincidence. Carried mine today.

[@gideonstactical]

Nice! You enjoy it? Which blade shape

[@Barry-ji3wf]

Magnacut tanto. ONLY problem is the pocket clip.

[@bigpatt8372]

My Kershaw livewire makes a squeaky high pitched noise when retracting in. Unlike my other otf's. Anyone know how to fix that?

[@thaknobodi]

Yes pocket clip sucks. It lacks flexibility as well. My HK (Hogue) has the best clip ive used in a while, wide secure and easy to pocket in and out. The livewire clip i had to bend to where its off the body by a couple mm and it still hard to get on my Carhartts

[@Ab82903]

It doesn't fall off the track it just doesn't lock at the gate.

[@jamesevans9621]

MidwayUSA has srk compact in 3v for 89.99

[@GeorgiaDawg404]

I want a tanto in FDE

[@hificat101]

I have one and love it. Also while ordering them from the link really helps the channel, Kershaw Guy is running a big sale on Livewires right now. Most variants are $210 which is an incredible deal. They have the cool new carbon fiber model for just a couple bucks more.

[@gideonstactical]

That is a good deal!

[@LsBirdman]

Livewire is without question thee best bang for buck on the OTF market🏆Unlike those hardons at Microtech, Kershaw doesn’t refer to their dual spring mechanism as a “dual fuel drivetrain”😂Coated magnacut for $220 is untouchable

[@Velshard]

I agree that the Kershaw pocket clips suck.

[@gideonstactical]

So dumb

[@railbugga]

Best Esee knife??

[@gideonstactical]

@@gideonstactical thanks

[@BerghausMT]

Any blade play after lock up ?

[@LsBirdman]

It’s very minimal. Same as an Ultratech

[@LsBirdman]

Very minimal. Same as an Ultratech

[@killough71010]

Very minimal. The livewire has less blade play than my 500$ microtech glycon. It's also much smoother and easier to actuate. The livewire is very impressive! I also like it better than my Hogue compound.

[@chuckles470s9]

This could get me away from cheap otfs. 👍

[@JohnWic-ld2fd]

I’ll stick with my buck 112 or spidey folder I rock fix blades just can’t do an OTF yeah they are fidget friendly but so is a fidget spinner lol I go with function and stick to fixed blades for the most part Thanks for sharing tho and god bless friends❤

[@tomsoja6549]

So why the fuck are u watching this video?

[@kathleensmith370]

looks like a good value for the money, but OTFs are not for me. Im in AZ now, but lived in CA my entire life. Guess I just have a bad attitude about them

[@EastCoastMan603]

Smol Pp energy my guy.

[@jasonaffeldt7838]

Nice👍.🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲

[@Powernoodle_]

We need to stop spending hundreds of dollars on knives that don't open Amazon packages or slice an apple any better than a $40 knife. The price of knives is out of control. Screw that. Thanks.

[@acid6urns]

the price of knives aren’t out of control really. you want premium shit you pay a premium price. you don’t wanna spend more than $150? ok buy something under $150, there’s probably over 2000 options.

[@Youtube-Censorship-Police]

yeah, no thanks, i like good edge retention, premium materials and made in the us with fair wages and no slave labour. keep buying your $40 ganzos from random chinese factories if you want, but don't tell other people what they should buy.

[@neongirl]

The fact is that a two hundred dollar knife will open twenty times more Amazon packages and cut fifty times more apples without the need for sharpening than a $40 knife.

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

Speak for yourself.

[@TheJoedonbakerfan]

I don’t get OTF’s, other than the cool factor.

[@mikeh4711]

Have you seen the abusive tests they put them through? Try one, they are legit.

[@JohnSmith-gs4lw]

What about a $60 CPM 3V fixed blade? kzbin.info/www/bejne/haGxn3moeLyEl5Y

[@panagiotissoufliotis6558]

Ok now, let's tell the truth and be honest. OTF is a waste of money. Fragile, complexity of many parts than can go wrong, must kept absolutely clean, cause the slightest dirt and dust will cause function problems, terrible for edc, and many more......and the most important? Prices are bad jokes. Useless for everything, but just to fidget the fire button on off while watching a movie, sitting on a comfortable couch.

[@mikeh4711]

You must not have any experience with otf’s as many of your comments are incorrect. They are a huge help when you are working up high or in a tight space. I even dropped one in gardening soil clogging the opening, tapped it a few times to clear the dirt and worked fine.

[@panagiotissoufliotis6558]
