Built for precision, balance, and fluid motion, the Heibel Invictus Balisong #82 delivers a high-performance flipping experience with a rugged, refined edge. Its 5.51-inch Damasteel blade features an acid stonewash finish that enhances the layered patterns of the steel while adding durability and helping conceal wear from repeated use. This premium blade material offers exceptional strength, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, making it as functional as it is visually striking.
The Invictus platform, meaning “undefeated” or “unconquerable,” builds on the success of Heibel’s earlier designs by combining the best elements of the Sapient and Menace into a sleeker, more responsive form. The green anodized titanium handles have been slimmed down to reduce overall frame size, improving agility without sacrificing strength. Weight-reducing cutouts enhance balance and handling, while extended jimping and precision chamfering provide a secure, comfortable grip during 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 combination 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.
