Category: Folder

The Invictus-IBL folder design represents years of development, working with numerous manufacturing partners, and many prototypes to arrive at this point. This variant of our signature Invictus design features a handle machined from a solid block of titanium. With the addition of scales to the solid block handle, this Invictus is described as an "Integral Bolster Lock" type folder. Each bevel, curve, contour, angle, chamfer, area of jimping, component and part has been meticulously detailed. It is the most production intensive version of the Invictus we have ever built and reflects an apex of our purpose driven, refined, functional tool aesthetic, design and production ethos at Prometheus Design Werx. This is a precision made, EDC folder at its finest. We used titanium billet in the handle, pivot collar, and the pocket clip. The Böhler M390 stainless steel alloy blade runs on ceramic bearings for a smooth action. Dual thumbstuds with dive watch grade glow-in-the-dark inlays deploys the blade quickly and decisively. Rounding out this Invictus-IBL are the G10 scales which are perfectly matched to the handle. No flashy, big logos or graphics or marks, just a subtle logo laser etched on to the pocket clip. For those who adhere to the philosophy of form follows function, find beauty in finely made, useful tools, and demand precision made mechanical objects, the Invictus-IBL is made for you.
Due to the complex, lengthy production process, the extra hand finishing work and associated costs required in the making of this particular variation of the Invictus folder, it is unlikely we will run this version again. This was a labor of love, perseverance and patience over 6 years to see this through to its final, satisfying conclusion. We hope those of you who choose to own this folder will appreciate the time and effort in its creation, and confidently enjoy the results.

Owen ★★★★★

Took it straight from the mailbox to the workbench, and the G10 scales feel grippy without being rough on the palm. Lockup is rock solid with zero blade play after a week of constant flipping. This one’s clearly been through some serious iteration.

Edward J. ★★★★★

The G10 scales have a nice grippy texture that feels secure even with sweaty hands, and the blade deployment is buttery smooth right out of the box. I've been carrying it for a week and the fit and finish clearly reflect all those years of prototyping.

Ruby E. ★★★★★

Took it out of the box and immediately noticed how perfectly balanced it feels in hand, the black G10 scales have just the right amount of texture without being abrasive. Lockup is rock solid with zero blade play, and the action broke in silky smooth after just a day of fidgeting. This one’s clearly
