SHOP CASE KNIVESThe DPx Heft 6 Woodsman Stonewash Sleipner is built for those who demand real-world capability wrapped in a refined, field-ready design. Developed by DPx Gear and co-designed by Robert Young Pelton and Tommaso Rumici, this knife blends hard-use engineering with traditional materials that feel right at home outdoors. It’s a serious tool created by people who understand hostile environments, remote travel, and the need for equipment that earns its place.
The 6-inch drop point blade is made from Sleipner steel, a premium tool steel known for its excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Sleipner performs exceptionally well in extended field use, holding an edge through demanding tasks while remaining resilient under stress. The stonewash finish keeps glare low and helps hide wear, allowing the blade to age naturally through honest use. The drop point profile delivers a strong tip and a long, usable cutting edge that handles everything from camp chores and food prep to heavier utility work with confidence.
Full tang construction ensures maximum strength and stability, allowing the knife to withstand impact, leverage, and repeated hard use without compromise. Along the spine, wire stripper jimping adds controlled traction and additional functionality, giving you more precision and versatility when working with cordage or wire in the field.
The handle is crafted from Brazilian Santos hardwood and features a hollow construction with internal storage, secured by 304 stainless steel hybrid slotted and Allen screws. This design combines natural warmth and grip comfort with modern practicality. Integrated into the handle are multiple survival-driven features, including a striker pommel, pry bar, lanyard hole, and lashing point. A built-in 1/4-inch magnetized hex driver further expands the knife’s utility, turning it into a compact field solution rather than just a cutting tool.
Measuring 11.22 inches overall and weighing 8.99 ounces, the Heft 6 Woodsman balances size and carry comfort exceptionally well for a full-size fixed blade. It feels substantial in hand without becoming cumbersome during extended use. The included handmade Italian leather sheath completes the package, offering secure belt carry and a classic aesthetic that complements the wood handle and stonewashed blade.
The DPx Heft 6 Woodsman Stonewash Sleipner is built for those who value versatility, premium materials, and a knife that’s as capable in the field as it is thoughtfully designed.
