Protech + PDW Invictus -- Automatic Awesome!

At last, Protech is able to mass produce the Invictus design! Originally conceived by PDW, the Invictus Auto was an awesome knife originally intended for outdoor and MIL-LEO use. This design has finally made it into Protech's lineup with a 154CM blade and aluminum handles. Highly recommended!

I didn't know I needed this until I watched the video. I love Protechs and will add this to my collection of them which now stands at 54.

There’s something about how that design comes together that’s just really aesthetically pleasing.

[@barneymiller7894]

Extremely reminiscent of Robert Terzuolas designs but not so much to be stepping on toes, i like it!

[@Happytrees1]

I really like the look of this knife. In my opinion everything about it is extremely aesthetically pleasing - the flat-ness of the DLC on the handle, the two tone appearance of the blade, the blade shape (spear points are one of my absolute favorite blade shapes, not just for looks but for function as well) and then it’s all finished off with that nice bright red on the button. Beautiful. The looks are indeed very attractive but the obvious functionality take it to the next level of attractive; I enjoy seeing knives that are designed from the ground up to be carried and used every day. Thanks for showing us this one, Doc.

Just picked up the new magnacut version and cant wait until it shows up.

[@sasajugovic5618]

LOVE the look of the folder and LOVE the shape of the blade...

[@cullinmccartie1467]

Great vid man I’m excited to see more form you while you rebuild the collection in these coming months

[@kennethtape3362]

Just love this 'protech' auto 👍

[@David_DY]

Love the way this knife feels in the hand! And Protech's action and fit and finish are top notch! 👍👊

[@KevinTheStallion637]

Knife collector with a bad back... wish I could have you as my surgeon to fix it.. love your videos!

[@kenmarapese9085]

First vid I've seen on this one that talked about the washerless pivot system. I agreed with everything you stated. I dig Protech.

[@joe_a_photo]

I think it looks amazing. If it was legal to carry in CA, I would pick one up on a heart beat.

[@budwengler6730]

Im still looking for one.

[@samthesilencer]

I know where ones at if you’re interested

[@budwengler6730]

I heard it's in production as of April 2024. Still interested....

[@samthesilencer]

@@budwengler6730 check out nc blade they have one

[@samthesilencer]

@@budwengler6730 I can’t post the link because of the spam filter. NC Blade has one. They have a website.

[@samthesilencer]

@@budwengler6730 ncblades has one. Can’t link it here in the comments. Check it out on there.

[@josecolon2165]

I got the same one a few weeks ago and it’s been in my pocket since I got it. It’s pretty fantastic. Only slight dislike is and it’s very minor is a bit of button drag which makes it a tad gritty feeing. For me this one is a keeper.

[@DoctorFrunkey]

You could try adding drop of oil to the inner button interface. That may help with that gritty feeling!

[@josecolon2165]

Doctor Frunkey I’ll try that. It’s such a minor complaint I don’t notice it 99% of the time. This is my first Protech and it won’t be my last.

[@budwengler6730]

I'll guess I'll have to wait again..

[@samthesilencer]

I’m trying to reply to you. It deletes everything I try to say about go here or look at this or that page. I have replied 5 times and it keeps deleting it. So I don’t know how else to tell you where to go.

[@nathanandrade876]

Really nice review. I like the knife. Do you happen to know if they ll make a version with a diferent push button insert?

[@DoctorFrunkey]

They have made one qith a mother-of-pearl inlay and a tritium inlay. More coming.

[@ShawnL61189]

Good review.

[@alexeski4109]

Check out the Protech ATAC by Harkins if you get a chance, I’d be curious to hear what you think. I got one recently, and I am really loving it. It has both manual and automatic action, Protech calls it double action. It’s really neat.

[@barneymiller7894]

Looking at the overall design someone definitely read Terzuolas book 💯👍

[@barneymiller7894]

Thanks for the heart! Your review was the video that convinced me I wanted to buy the Massdrop Terzuola CTF as I was worried about quality. But you ended up being 100% correct, great piece for the price! I had to sand the edges on the scales a bit and lighten the lock up but its definitely the nicest knife I own in the $150 price range 👍 Since then I've always trusted your reviews and never found you to hype something that wasn't worth it, Shabazz level reviews! Now that I look down, I'm even carrying my CTF today, thanks again!

[@raulbanegas1982]

Looks great !yes please buy great American made products !

[@nathannettik455]

Would like to see this as a straight button lock like the Malibu.

[@DoctorFrunkey]

They have done a non auto version. I would also like a manual version!

[@dphill4762]

Yep, a manual version would get my attention

[@Saratogasledge]

How does that compare in size to the drop Terzuola CTF?

[@sisler42789]

Where did your instagram go?

[@jameshewettjr.3147]

Is this knife coming soon or is it discontinued?

[@DoctorFrunkey]

It is now licensed as full production and is available at retailers. Google it!

[@jameshewettjr.3147]

@@DoctorFrunkey I have multiple times in the past week. Either get unavailable or discontinued

[@jimm244]

I’m not too thrilled about the grind. Otherwise this would be a “must buy.” Also, anything with the “parallel lines” is overpriced. That doesn’t keep it from being cool though.

[@KB-kw8ni]

People get salty about automatics and talk negative about them because where they reside they are either illegal to own or carry or both. Also, a good percentage of the quality automatics are a bit spendy so people get salty about not being able to afford them and start talking bad about them

[@DoctorFrunkey]

Nice

Invicta made a knife! Their watches are terrible!
