Introducing the HEST 6 design, a remarkable knife that beautifully merges military precision with outdoor versatility! At first glance, you'll be amazed by its lightweight and nimble nature which makes it feel just right in your hand. The balance of the blade is impressive, allowing for effortless control as your fingers seamlessly fit into the thoughtfully contoured grip—perfect whether you're using a standard or reverse hold. But that’s not all! The unique pommel offers exceptional thumb coverage during combatives, ensuring you’re prepared for anything. Plus, the rounded spine ensures comfort even during extended use. Crafted by adventurer Robert Young Pelton, this knife strikes an ideal harmony between being a reliable combat tool and a durable hard-use companion. Originally designed for SERE (Survival Evasion Resistance Escape) training, it's proudly used by San Diego NSW SERE instructors in their rigorous training programs near Warner Springs, CA. The handle showcases Micarta—a wonderful composite of linen and paper that's highly durable and won’t change over time; instead, it develops a stunning patina while providing outstanding grip through various weather conditions! Your adventure will truly come alive with the robust 6" blade made from Magnacut steel featuring an eye-catching stonewashed finish. You’ll appreciate its thoughtful details like slip-free jimping on the spine that enhances handling stability and an innovative pommel that serves multiple purposes: it's not only a striker or bone cracker but also doubles as a handy cap lifter! To top it off, each DPx HEST 6 Magnacut comes housed in an exquisitely crafted leather sheath complete with a belt loop—showcasing thick stitching and proudly displaying our USA-made DPx Gear logo.
