SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kershaw Lucha BlackWash is a purpose-built butterfly knife designed for serious flippers and knife enthusiasts who demand smooth performance, balanced weight, and rock-solid construction. Proudly made in the USA, this balisong combines bold styling with the kind of precision engineering that defines Kershaw’s commitment to quality.
At the core of the Lucha is a 4.6" 14C28N stainless steel drop point blade with a BlackWash finish. This blade steel is tough, corrosion-resistant, and holds a keen edge, making it ideal for extended use and repeated flipping. The BlackWash finish not only adds a tactical, worn-in look, but it also hides scratches and wear, giving the knife a battle-hardened appearance that only gets better with use.
Built around a pair of stainless steel handles with strategically placed weight-reducing cutouts, the Lucha balances strength with agility. The skeletonized design lightens the frame while enhancing grip, allowing for better control during tricks or manipulation. The 5.9-ounce weight is perfectly dialed in—heavy enough for momentum, but not so much that it slows you down.
What sets the Lucha apart is its ultra-smooth operation. Dual KVT ball bearing pivots provide fast, frictionless action, allowing the blade to glide effortlessly through every flip. The latch lock keeps the knife secure in both open and closed positions, so you can practice or perform with confidence.
Measuring 5.65" closed and stretching to 10.25" overall, this is a full-sized balisong that commands attention without sacrificing function. Whether you're an experienced flipper or just diving into the world of butterfly knives, the Lucha offers a perfect balance of style, substance, and American craftsmanship.
Proudly made in the USA, the Kershaw Lucha BlackWash is more than just a knife—it’s a precision tool for those who value performance and durability in every flip. Order it today from SMKW!
