The DPx HEST (Hostile Environment Survival Tool) is the original brutal-use fixed blade from DPx Gear — a compact survival knife designed by Robert Young Pelton and built in the USA by Rowen Manufacturing. The thick D2 tool steel blade, hollowed Micarta scales, integrated wire breaker, and aggressive jimping make it ready for prying, batoning, cutting, and detail work in the field. A molded Kydex sheath, paracord, cord lock, and belt clip kit ship in the box, along with DPx's lifetime warranty. Built for operators, expedition travelers, hunters, and serious EDC carriers who need one knife that won't quit.

Features
Hostile Environment Survival Tool — Purpose-built fixed blade designed by Robert Young Pelton for hard use in conflict zones, expeditions, and backcountry survival.
D2 Tool Steel Blade — Field-tough D2 steel at 55–62 HRC delivers excellent edge retention and resistance to chipping under heavy work.
0.19" Blade Stock — Thick spine gives you the rigidity to pry, baton, and chop without flex or failure.
Removable Micarta Handle Scales — Hollowed Micarta scales unscrew so the bare tang can be run as a neck knife or field-expedient tool.
Integrated Wire Breaker and Thumb Ramp — Spine cutout doubles as a wire breaker, with aggressive jimping for positive thumb control during detail cuts.
Multiple Lashing Points — Lanyard hole and sheath attachment options let you mount the knife to packs, plate carriers, or improvised handles.
Contoured Kydex Sheath — Includes a molded Kydex sheath with paracord, cord lock, and belt clip kit for flexible carry on belt, pack, or rig.
Made in the USA by Rowen — Manufactured stateside by Rowen Manufacturing to tight tolerances and proven build quality.
Compact Carry Weight — Roughly 4.4 oz (125 g) keeps it light enough for EDC while still robust enough for serious field tasks.
No-Questions-Asked Lifetime Warranty — Backed by DPx Gear's full lifetime guarantee against defects and hard-use failure.
