SHOP CASE KNIVESThe DPx HEST 6 MilSpec is built for uncompromising performance in environments where gear is expected to work without excuses. Designed by Robert Young Pelton and produced by DPx Gear, this fixed blade reflects a MilSpec mindset focused on strength, reliability, and real-world function. It’s a purpose-driven tool created for professionals, outdoorsmen, and serious users who demand durability above all else.
The 6-inch drop point blade is crafted from Niolox tool steel, a material known for its excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Niolox performs exceptionally well under sustained use, holding an edge while remaining resilient to impact and stress. The stonewash finish keeps glare low and helps conceal scratches from hard use, giving the blade a subdued, work-ready appearance that only improves with time. The drop point profile provides a strong, reinforced tip paired with a long, usable cutting edge, making it versatile enough for slicing, piercing, and heavy utility tasks.
Full tang construction ensures the blade steel runs the entire length of the knife, delivering superior strength and balance. This design allows the HEST 6 MilSpec to handle prying, leverage, and demanding field tasks without compromising structural integrity. It’s built to take abuse and keep performing when lesser tools would fail.
The handle is constructed from black G-10, offering a secure, non-slip grip in wet, dry, or gloved conditions. G-10 is lightweight, incredibly strong, and resistant to environmental changes, making it ideal for hard-use applications. Integrated into the handle is a pry bar that adds functional versatility while protecting the blade tip during tasks not suited for an edge. A lanyard hole provides additional retention and carry options, keeping the knife secure during active use.
Measuring 11.18 inches overall and weighing 10.23 ounces, the HEST 6 MilSpec has a solid, confidence-inspiring feel that balances reach and control. It’s substantial enough for demanding work without feeling awkward or unwieldy in hand. The included Cordura MOLLE sheath offers secure, adaptable carry, allowing the knife to be mounted to packs, vests, or belts for quick access in the field.
The DPx HEST 6 MilSpec is a serious fixed blade built for those who trust their tools in unforgiving conditions and expect performance that doesn’t quit.
