FAQ
FAQ
What blade steel is in the PDW Invictus-SP?
CPM MagnaCut — a powder metallurgy stainless steel developed by Larrin Thomas and Crucible Industries offering a balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance that outperforms most prior premium knife steels. It is not a stainless alloy in the traditional sense; the CPM process produces a finer, more uniform carbide structure than conventional steelmaking.
What is the difference between the Invictus and the Invictus-SP?
The Invictus-SP (Slimmer Profile) features a reduced handle thickness — 0.416 inches versus the original Invictus — for a lower-profile pocket carry. Both share the same US Design Patent (D752,411 S), CPM MagnaCut blade, full billet 6AL-4V titanium construction, ceramic bearings, and lock bar stabilizer. The SP is optimized for urban EDC carry comfort without compromising field capability.
Is the PDW Invictus-SP covered by a design patent?
Yes. The Invictus design is protected under US Design Patent D752,411 S, awarded to PDW's Chief Designer and Company Founder. It is the only titanium framelock EDC folder in this category carrying a US design patent on its form.
What does the lock bar stabilizer do?
A lock bar stabilizer (LBS) is a small insert fitted to the framelock that prevents the titanium lock bar from traveling past its optimal engagement point. Without it, repeated use can cause the lock bar to migrate open, reducing the percentage of blade tang it contacts and compromising lockup over time. The LBS maintains consistent lock engagement for the life of the knife.
