Product Description
Master the art of flipping without the risk. The Kershaw Balanza (4950TR) is a high-performance butterfly knife trainer designed to make balisong manipulation accessible, safe, and incredibly smooth for flippers of all skill levels. Taking design cues from the professional-grade Lucha, the Balanza offers the same balanced momentum and "feel" of a live blade but features a blunt edge and rounded tip to ensure maximum safety during the learning process.
Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the Balanza is finished in Kershaw’s signature BlackWash™, giving it a rugged, tactical look that hides the dings and scratches inevitably earned during practice. The handle features a unique symmetrical hole pattern that provides extra grip, reduces total weight to a nimble 4.8 ounces, and ensures perfect balance for rollovers and aerials. Equipped with dual KVT ball-bearing pivots, the Balanza delivers a frictionless, "hydraulic" flipping experience that allows beginners to progress quickly and advanced flippers to refine their technique with precision.
-
