The DPx HEST 6 Assault Stonewashed Serrated is built for users who need a full-size fixed blade that delivers strength, control, and real-world versatility. Designed by DPx Gear, this knife reflects a mission-driven approach where every feature has a purpose and every material is chosen for performance. It’s a dependable tool meant for hard use in demanding environments, not a showpiece meant to stay clean.
The 6-inch drop point blade is crafted from Niolox tool steel, a steel valued for its excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. This makes it well suited for extended use in the field where conditions can be unpredictable. The partially serrated edge adds serious cutting capability, allowing the blade to bite through rope, webbing, and fibrous materials quickly while retaining a clean straight edge for controlled slicing and general utility work. The stonewash finish keeps glare to a minimum and helps hide scratches and wear, giving the blade a low-profile, work-ready appearance that improves with use.
Full tang construction ensures the blade steel runs the full length of the knife, creating a solid, balanced tool that can handle pressure, impact, and sustained cutting without compromise. The drop point profile provides a strong, reinforced tip that’s ideal for piercing, detail work, and heavy utility tasks while maintaining excellent edge control.
The handle is built from black G-10, offering a secure, non-slip grip in wet, dry, or gloved conditions. G-10 is lightweight, extremely durable, and resistant to environmental changes, making it an ideal handle material for hard-use knives. Integrated into the handle is a pry bar that expands the knife’s functionality and helps protect the blade tip during tasks that aren’t meant for an edge. A lanyard hole provides additional carry and retention options, keeping the knife secure during active use.
Measuring 11.12 inches overall and weighing just 5.15 ounces, the HEST 6 Assault maintains an impressive balance of size and carry comfort. It delivers the reach and authority of a full-size fixed blade without feeling unnecessarily heavy or cumbersome. The included black Cordura belt loop sheath offers durable, secure carry and easy access, making it well suited for duty, field, or outdoor applications.
The DPx HEST 6 Assault Stonewashed Serrated is a purpose-built fixed blade for users who demand proven steel, rugged construction, and a knife that’s ready for real work from the moment it’s drawn.
