DPX Gear Hest F Folder Black Sculpted Aluminum Handle Stonewash M390 Blade DPXHSF451

The DPx Gear HEST/F Framelock Folder with black sculpted aluminum handle and M390 blade is a compact, multi-purpose tool built for reliability, versatility, and everyday performance. Made in Italy, this knife reflects DPx Gear’s approach to design—combining premium materials with integrated features that extend its usefulness far beyond standard cutting tasks. It’s a tool designed to handle real-world situations while maintaining a clean, controlled feel in hand.

At the core of the HEST/F is a 3.25-inch blade crafted from Böhler M390 stainless steel and finished with a durable stonewash. M390 is known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, making it a top-tier choice for demanding environments. The blade maintains a sharp edge through extended use while resisting corrosion and abrasion, ensuring consistent performance over time. Its shape supports a balance of slicing and precision work, giving you a versatile cutting tool for everyday carry.

The handle is constructed from black sculpted aluminum, offering a lightweight yet strong platform that’s easy to carry without sacrificing durability. The sculpted design enhances grip and control, providing a secure feel in hand during use. The framelock construction ensures solid lockup and long-term reliability, while the extended tang improves handling and adds leverage when needed. A lanyard hole provides additional carry options, and the pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible.

What sets the HEST/F apart is its integrated utility. The blade notch doubles as both a bottle opener and a quick deployment feature, adding convenience without increasing bulk. An integral hex driver is built into the handle, expanding its functionality beyond cutting tasks. The spine features tri-gauge wire stripper jimping, allowing you to work with the most common wire sizes when needed. A glass breaker is also included, adding another layer of capability for emergency situations.

With a closed length of 4.5 inches, the HEST/F is compact enough for everyday carry while still offering the strength and versatility expected from a DPx Gear design. Every feature is built with intention, creating a knife that works as both a cutting tool and a practical multi-use solution.

The DPx Gear HEST/F Framelock Folder delivers a strong combination of premium steel, lightweight construction, and integrated functionality, making it a dependable choice for those who want more from their everyday carry.
