SPD X-11

$ 59.00
Overview
The Special Projects Division X-11 is a precision made, titanium handled, compact cutting tool using a common and replaceable no. 11 utility blade. A unique, unibody design which is smaller in width than a AAA battery and about as long as your pinky finger. This small but mighty cutting tool is designed to be barely felt on your keychain, in your pocket, or stored in a pocket emergency kit or stash tube.

Small but
Mighty

Ths SPD X-11 is a very compact, yet highly capable cutting tool. Barely over 8 grams in weight, smaller in diameter than a AAA battery and about as long as your pinky finger. 

Titanium EDC

At PDW, we have a strong affinity for titanium billet and machining them into useful, everyday carry tools and objects. The SPD X-11 is a precision made tool to EDC. #hikebikecampshootridedive

Advanced, Utility
Design

Using the latest fabrication techniques, we were able to construct the handle out of a solid piece of titanium billet, creating a unibody cutting tool. Despite it's very compact size, smart details characterize the design which features four preset blade positions and carefully considered ergonomics.

Best
Grade

We use the best grade in materials in the making of our X-11. From 6AL-4V grade-5 titanium billet, to the brightest strontium aluminate cabochon button inlay, PDW is uncompromising in quality of make. The practical use of the replaceable, readily available no.11 utility blades was a smart decision to have an off the shelf supply of razor sharp blades at your disposal. 

A to
Z

As with just about all of our EDC tools and items, we include a presentation box, that is simple, yet elegant and practical. Our tin boxes are completely reusable for storing odds and ends, fire making supplies, a DIY sewing kit and more.

Special
Projects
Division

Making the X-11 literally required some fresh angles in fabrication methods. It was a challenging and ultimately satisfying exercise to achieve a unibody construction that we were after, as well as the whole process to miniaturize the entire cutting tool was befitting of our SPD classification.

Size + Fit

Yes, this is a very very small utility knife. I've gotten used to it though, sorta. Still wish it was 30% larger.

The bigger issue(s) are 1. changing the blade requires a complete teardown, and 2. I can't seem to find no.11 blades that fit. I've tried 5 different makers and none of them fit for multiple reasons. Bummer.

HI JOHN, WE designed the X-11 around the Xacto brand No. 11 blades, but did not fit the tool for the 'Z'- type blade. While similar, the 'Z'- type is apparently slightly different than the more common stanard No. 11 blade profile. We've made a note of this and will see if we can come up with a blade seat that fits both for any potential future production runs.

Perfect for the role

I keep a keychain of useful items with me which includes an Olight i1R 2 pro, a titanium whistle that is also a bottle opener, and an Exacto blade carrier ... This is a perfect replacement for the Ferrum Forge blade carrier I had been using. I like the blade positioning detents, size and weight. What I like most is the less finicky method of blade change. I think it is a better overall design.
