Buying American Quality Supports American Craftsmen
With the crazy climate nowadays, we can all agree it's time to support America and American made products more. Sure, you can get another high end knife in the same price range as the DPx HEST/F Urban Ti. There are a lot of makers that stay rooted to American design, materials and craftsmanship - and that’s OK - but the DPx Gear Urban series was designed to be 100% American and put money into the pockets of hard working, talented Americans.
The Urbans are made by (famed Country singer) Zac Brown's company, Southern Grind in Atlanta, GA. Not only does he make great products and music, he also has amazing programs he supports, like the Camp Southern Ground. Think about that when choosing your next high end EDC - aside from fancy materials and features, how is your daily carry giving back?
We are proud of the Urban's evolution; from blazing trails as the first American made pocket knife to be funded by Kickstarter, to being a solid American made heirloom enjoyed by many here and overseas. All materials are high quality and 100% American made.
The HEST/F Urbans are not the only American knives we make. Our roots are in American makers. The DPx HEST Original, our flagship knife, is made in Idaho; and the DPx HEAT Hikers are made by White River Knives in Michigan.
Recently We Took A Survey About the HEST/F Urban
The feedback was overall, very positive. Below are some quotes from the comments:
"This knife does everything I need it to and more. I carry it everywhere: work, wilderness and around town."

"Super handy EDC."
"Excellent craftsmanship, my daily carry."
"Love the pocket quick open feature. So easy and nicely unobtrusive."
"This is my EDC, and has been since December of 2019. It’s a rock solid build."

The World's Most Dangerous Podcast is Here
When Reza Allahbakshi, a survival instructor and journalist, first picked up a battered used copy of The World’s Most Dangerous Places, he didn’t expect the man behind it to be so complex. Pelton, the author in question, isn’t just a writer — he’s a lumberjack, marketer, blaster’s assistant, television host, and, most notably, a relentless and fearless explorer of the globe’s most volatile zones.
In this rich and often philosophical conversation, Pelton pulls back the curtain on his origins.
DPx Gear Releases the DPx HEST/F 4.0 Ti
It is a rare moment when a product, a designer, and a legacy blend into one perfect moment. Robert Young Pelton has been working and living in the bush, war zones, and dangerous places since he was ten. He designed his first knife in 2008, and 17 years and over two dozen patents later, he is still perfecting the Hostile Environment Survival Tool—a proven design that is beautiful, ergonomic, dependable, and functional. In that obsession lies an ancient concept of elegance, form, and function, designed to be used roughly and to age with grace. This is a perfection of that vision.
