The DPx H•E•S•T or Hostile Environment Survival ToolTM is the knife that started it all...the original, brutal-use everyday carry fixed survival blade. Now available without scales and wrapped in your choice of over 5 feet 550 cord. For those who want a simple, light carry to get the job done. Made in America, used worldwide. The DPx H•E•S•T Original changed the way professionals think of a survival blade. It had to be to be useful and it couldn't fail when deployed. The H•E•S•T concept was created by adventurer and DPx Gear founder Robert Young Pelton who applied his time in three dozen conflicts and adventures through more than 120 countries to come up with the perfect balance of concealability, utility and fail-safe operation in an innovative blade. The H•E•S•T features a 0.19" (5mm) blade crafted from high carbon 1095 spring steel with the famous Rowen heat treatment that results in a 57-58 Rockwell hardness. The H•E•S•T comes with a KYDEX® sheath, paracord and cord lock, and belt clip kit.
