The Kershaw Balanza is a butterfly trainer knife made for anyone who wants to learn flipping tricks without the risk of a real blade. The blade is an unsharpened blank with a rounded tip, so a slip while you practice won’t cut you. It’s a low-cost way into the hobby for beginners of any age. Kershaw says it’s balanced in size and weight like the original Lucha.
- Unsharpened edge and rounded tip take the cutting risk out of practice
- All-stainless-steel construction is fully contoured, so the handles roll smoothly in your hand
- Dual KVT ball-bearing pivots keep the flipping action smooth
- A symmetrical hole pattern in the handles gives you extra grip and cuts weight
- The all-BlackWash finish on blade, handles, and screws gives it a uniform dark look
- Latch lock and drop point blade shape follow the traditional butterfly layout
