The DPx HEST II MilSpec Stonewash Black G-10 is built as a compact fixed blade that delivers serious capability in a streamlined, mission-ready package. Designed by DPx Gear, this knife reflects a MilSpec mindset where durability, function, and reliability come first. It’s a tool made for users who expect their gear to perform under pressure, whether in the field, on duty, or in demanding everyday environments.
The 3.25-inch drop point blade is crafted from Niolox tool steel, a steel chosen for its excellent balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Niolox handles repeated use without chipping or rolling, making it a dependable choice for a knife that’s meant to work hard. The stonewash finish keeps glare low and helps mask scratches and wear, allowing the blade to maintain a subdued, professional appearance over time. The drop point profile offers a strong, reinforced tip paired with a versatile cutting edge that excels at utility tasks, controlled slicing, and detail work.
Full tang construction ensures the blade steel runs the entire length of the knife, giving the HEST II MilSpec strength and balance far beyond its compact size. Integrated directly into the blade is a pry notch, along with a 1/4-inch hex drive and three wire notches. These features expand the knife’s role beyond cutting, allowing it to handle light prying, fastener adjustments, and wire work without risking damage to the edge or tip.
The handle is constructed from black G-10, providing a secure, non-slip grip in wet, dry, or gloved conditions. G-10 is lightweight, extremely durable, and resistant to environmental changes, making it ideal for a hard-use fixed blade. Integrated into the handle is a pry bar that adds leverage and utility while protecting the blade during tasks not meant for an edge. A lanyard hole offers additional retention and carry options, keeping the knife secure during active use.
Measuring 7.625 inches overall and weighing just 4.20 ounces, the HEST II MilSpec is easy to carry without sacrificing capability. Its compact size makes it well suited as a primary utility blade or a dependable backup tool. The included leather belt loop sheath provides secure carry with a classic, durable feel, offering easy access while protecting the blade during transport.
The DPx HEST II MilSpec Stonewash Black G-10 is a purpose-built fixed blade for those who value smart design, proven materials, and a knife that earns its place through performance, not excess.
