The DPx HEST Classic Framelock OD Green G-10 is built for everyday carry with a hard-use mindset that doesn’t compromise on durability or control. Designed by DPx Gear, this folding knife carries the HEST legacy into a compact, pocket-ready format that’s ready for real work. It’s a knife made for users who want dependable materials, proven construction, and features that matter when conditions aren’t ideal.
The 3.25-inch drop point blade is crafted from D2 tool steel, a steel known for its excellent edge retention and toughness. D2 holds an edge through extended use, making it a solid choice for daily cutting tasks that demand consistency. The black blade finish reduces glare and adds a layer of protection against wear, giving the knife a low-profile, purpose-driven look. The drop point profile offers a strong, versatile tip with a usable cutting edge that handles slicing, detail work, and general utility with confidence.
Deployment is smooth and controlled thanks to the thumb stud, allowing for quick one-handed opening when needed. Once open, the framelock engages securely using a titanium frame backside that provides strength and reliability you can trust. This lock style keeps the knife slim while delivering solid lockup, reinforcing the HEST Classic’s reputation as a dependable everyday tool.
The handle combines an OD green G-10 front scale with a titanium frame lock on the back, creating a balance of grip, strength, and reduced weight. G-10 offers excellent traction in wet or dry conditions, while the titanium frame adds rigidity without unnecessary bulk. The handle shape is designed for comfort and control, making the knife feel secure during extended use without hot spots.
A tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife positioned for quick access and consistent carry, while the integrated glass breaker adds emergency capability without interfering with normal use. These details reflect a design philosophy focused on preparedness and function rather than excess.
At 4.375 inches closed and 7.75 inches overall, the HEST Classic Framelock fits comfortably in the pocket while still offering the presence and control of a full-capability folder. Weighing 4.90 ounces, it has enough heft to feel solid without becoming cumbersome during daily carry.
The DPx HEST Classic Framelock OD Green G-10 is a rugged, professional-grade folding knife built for users who expect their everyday carry to perform when it counts, not just look good on paper.
