USA-Made Kershaw 5150BW Lucha Balisong BlackWash
Proudly Made in the USA: Built to strict technical standards in Kershaw’s Oregon facility with direct performance feedback from the balisong community.
Dual KVT Ball-Bearing Pivots: Premium internal ball-bearing assemblies reduce mechanical friction to ensure ultra-smooth rotation and clean manipulation with zero handle play.
Distal-Tapered Momentum: The 4.6" Sandvik 14C28N steel blade is custom-tapered to optimize front-end weight distribution, resulting in seamless momentum shifts.
Low-Visibility BlackWash™ Finish: Complete blade-and-handle black-oxide coating eliminates reflective glare and easily masks scuffs from repetitive handling.
Rounded Handle Bevels: All-steel ergonomic handle scales feature smooth, rounded edges that let the balisong roll naturally and comfortably through the fingers.
Anti-Snag Safety Latch: Features a completely rounded latch to prevent catching on clothing, backed by an internal positive stop pin that blocks the latch from contacting the blade edge.
Premium Steel Composition: High-nitrogen 14C28N blade offers superior hardness, edge retention, and easy field maintenance.
