The DPx HEST II Assault Black Paracord Wrap is built for minimalists who still demand uncompromising performance. Designed by DPx Gear, this fixed blade strips the platform down to its essentials while preserving the toughness and reliability the HEST line is known for. It’s a purpose-driven tool meant for users who value adaptability, lightweight carry, and proven materials in a knife that’s always ready to work.
The 3.25-inch drop point blade is crafted from Niolox tool steel, a steel respected for its excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Niolox performs reliably in harsh environments, holding an edge through repeated use while standing up to impact and stress. The black PVD finish adds durability and corrosion protection while keeping glare to a minimum, giving the blade a low-profile, mission-ready appearance. The drop point profile provides a strong, versatile tip and a usable cutting edge that handles precision work, slicing, and general utility tasks with confidence.
Full tang construction ensures the blade steel runs the full length of the knife, delivering strength and balance well beyond what its compact size suggests. This design allows the HEST II Assault to handle demanding tasks without compromise, making it a dependable tool for field, outdoor, and emergency use.
The handle is wrapped in black paracord, reducing weight while adding practical versatility. The wrap provides a secure grip and can be removed and repurposed in survival situations for lashing, repairs, or emergency needs. This minimalist handle design keeps the knife lightweight and adaptable, making it an excellent choice for users who prioritize function and flexibility over excess features.
At just 7.625 inches overall and weighing only 4.02 ounces, the HEST II Assault Black Paracord Wrap is easy to carry without sacrificing capability. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for belt carry, pack storage, or integration into a larger kit, while still delivering the confidence of a full tang fixed blade.
The included nylon sheath provides secure, no-nonsense carry and protects the blade during transport. Lightweight and durable, it complements the knife’s stripped-down design and ensures quick access when needed.
The DPx HEST II Assault Black Paracord Wrap is built for those who understand that simplicity can be a strength. It’s a rugged, professional-grade fixed blade that delivers dependable performance, adaptable utility, and proven materials in a lightweight, field-ready package.
