DPX HEAT/F " First Run" Folding Sleipner Stonewash DPHTF001

The DPX HEAT/F First Run Folding Knife is built with the same hard-use mindset that’s defined the brand from the start. Designed by DPx Gear, this first run edition delivers compact strength, proven materials, and a no-nonsense build that’s meant to be carried and used, not babied. It’s a knife that favors reliability over flash, while still offering a refined, purposeful look that comes from thoughtful design.

The 2.26-inch drop point blade is crafted from Sleipner steel, a tool steel known for its excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This makes it especially well suited for everyday carry tasks that demand consistency and durability. The stonewash finish reduces glare and helps mask wear, allowing the blade to age gracefully through real-world use. The drop point profile provides a strong tip and a versatile cutting edge that excels at controlled slicing, utility cuts, and detail work without sacrificing strength.

Deployment is handled via a thumb stud that offers smooth, deliberate opening when you need it. The action feels solid and predictable, reinforcing the knife’s work-ready character. Once open, the framelock engages confidently, using a stonewashed 6Al4V grade 5 titanium alloy frame lock that’s engineered for strength and long-term reliability. It’s a lock design trusted by professionals who expect their knife to stay secure under pressure.

The handle pairs black G-10 scales with the titanium frame, creating a grip that’s lightweight, durable, and comfortable in extended use. The G-10 provides excellent traction in wet or dry conditions, while the titanium frame adds rigidity without unnecessary bulk. This combination results in a knife that feels balanced and secure in the hand, even during demanding tasks.

At just 6.24 inches overall and weighing 4.15 ounces, the HEAT/F carries easily while still offering the confidence of a solid, well-built tool. A tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife positioned for quick access and consistent carry throughout the day.

The DPX HEAT/F First Run Folding Knife is a compact, dependable workhorse designed for those who value premium materials, proven construction, and a knife that’s ready for real use from day one.
