Heibel Invictus Balisong #79 Raw Satin Damasteel/Blue Anodized Titanium HKI079

Built for precision, balance, and fluid motion, the Heibel Invictus Balisong #79 represents a refined approach to high-performance flipping. Its 5.51-inch Damasteel blade features a raw satin finish that highlights the intricate patterning of the steel while delivering exceptional strength, edge retention, and durability. Clean and striking, the blade pairs visual appeal with serious performance for enthusiasts who expect both form and function.

The Invictus, meaning “undefeated” or “unconquerable,” builds on the strengths of Heibel’s earlier designs, blending the best elements of the Sapient and Menace into a more streamlined, responsive platform. The blue anodized titanium handles have been slimmed down to reduce overall frame size, improving agility without sacrificing strength. Weight-reducing cutouts further refine balance and handling, while extended jimping and precision chamfering provide a secure, comfortable grip through extended flipping sessions.

Internally, the knife is engineered for smooth, consistent action. Stainless steel bushings and phosphor bronze washers work together to deliver controlled, reliable movement, while the tang pin construction ensures durability and repeatable performance. The redesigned blade tang keeps excess material away from your fingers, preventing interference during complex manipulations. A sleek latchless design enhances speed and flow, and Torx hardware allows for easy maintenance and adjustment.

At 10.375 inches overall and weighing just 4.5 ounces, this balisong offers an ideal balance of size, weight, and responsiveness. Designed by Adam Heibel and proudly made in the USA, it reflects a commitment to precision craftsmanship and is available at Smoky Mountain Knife Works. Each knife includes a custom metal certificate of authenticity and a cloth drawstring pouch.
