DPx Gear Heat Hiker Fixed Blade Knife 1095 Desert Tan DPHTX024

The DPx Gear HEAT Hiker 1095 Desert Tan is a purpose-built fixed blade designed for adventurers, backpackers, and survivalists who value strength without excess weight. With its 2.4" drop point blade crafted from 1095 carbon steel, this knife offers exceptional toughness and edge-holding capability, making it ideal for demanding outdoor use. The Desert Tan powder coated finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance while reducing glare, giving the blade a tactical, low-profile look suited for both wilderness and urban environments.

The skeletonized tang construction is the key to this knife’s lightweight performance. By reducing unnecessary material, DPx Gear ensures the HEAT Hiker tips the scale at just 2.2 ounces, making it effortless to carry without sacrificing the durability and rigidity expected from a full tang fixed blade. Multiple lanyard and lashing holes provide versatile mounting and carry options, while the integrated stainless steel carabiner clip allows for quick attachment to packs, belts, or gear loops. Whether it’s your primary ultralight carry or a backup blade, this design ensures it’s always within reach.

Measuring 6.22" overall, the HEAT Hiker offers an excellent balance between compact portability and functional blade length. The drop point profile delivers a robust tip and ample belly for slicing, piercing, and precision work. Combined with the ruggedness of 1095 carbon steel, it’s well suited for tasks like camp food prep, carving, rope cutting, and even light bushcraft.

The included custom injection-molded nylon sheath is built for secure retention and easy deployment. It’s slim enough to disappear into your pack or hang discreetly on your belt, while tough enough to withstand years of hard use in the field. Proudly made in the USA, the HEAT Hiker reflects DPx Gear’s commitment to uncompromising quality and practical design.

Whether you’re navigating the backcountry, tackling everyday chores, or building a minimalist emergency kit, the DPx Gear HEAT Hiker 1095 Desert Tan is a no-nonsense tool you can rely on. It delivers rugged performance in an ultralight package, ready for wherever the trail takes you. Order it today from SMKW!
