Kershaw Lucha Folding Knife 4-3/5" Drop Point Blade Blackwash

The Kershaw Lucha folding knife in blackwash finish is a full-sized butterfly knife built for serious flippers and everyday carry enthusiasts who demand smooth, reliable performance. With its 4-3/5" drop point blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel and an all-steel handle, the Lucha delivers the durability and aesthetics that set premium butterfly knives apart from entry-level copies. Made in the USA, this is the knife that won over experienced flippers and continues to earn respect from the EDC community for its thoughtful engineering and build quality.

Every detail of the Lucha was refined through real-world feedback from the flipping community. The blade geometry tapers toward the spine to shift weight toward the tip, giving you the pendulum-smooth action that separates a well-designed flipper from a mediocre one. Dual KVT ball-bearing pivots eliminate binding and keep the knife operating with barely a whisper of resistance—whether you're performing tricks at the range or just enjoying the satisfying deployment in your pocket. The handle's rounded bevel ensures the knife rolls effortlessly through your hand, and the rounded latch won't snag your fingers or catch on fabric.

The blackwash finish gives the Lucha a well-seasoned, worn-in aesthetic that looks better the more you use it. Black-oxide steel pivots, black anodized aluminum spacers, and matching hardware maintain that cohesive darkened look while providing excellent corrosion resistance. The latch features a positive stop so it never makes contact with the blade—a small detail that prevents damage and extends the life of your knife. This is a serious tool for serious users, backed by Kershaw's limited lifetime warranty.
