Product Description
Take your flipping to the elite level with the Kershaw Lucha Damascus (5150DAM). As the premium evolution of Kershaw’s award-winning balisong, this model combines a high-performance Damascus steel blade with the world-class engineering that has made the Lucha a favorite among professional flippers. Proudly Made in the USA, the Lucha Damascus was designed with direct feedback from the flipping community to ensure perfect balance, weight, and momentum.
The 4.6-inch drop point blade is forged from multi-layered Damascus steel, offering a unique, hand-forged aesthetic paired with excellent corrosion resistance. The blade geometry is meticulously tapered to put more weight at the tip, allowing it to pendulum smoothly during advanced aerials and transitions. The handle is crafted from bead-blasted stainless steel with rounded bevels, ensuring it rolls effortlessly in the palm without catching. Equipped with dual KVT ball-bearing pivots, the Lucha delivers ultra-smooth, friction-free operation that makes complex tricks feel second nature.
