DPx HEST Original Coming in New Configurations - October 2014

October 10, 2014

It has been nearly six years since DPx Gear®'s very first knife design, the DPx H•E•S•T™ Original, hit the streets. The iconic design that launched DPx is coming soon in new configurations which are estimated to ship October 31st, 2014. The additions to the lineup are as follows:

The serrated version is a combo edge with a short strip of serrations at the base of the blade. The serration pattern will be flat so that they may be sharpened easily in the field. The desert tan and OD green versions will allow for DPx customers to choose a different visual signature than the standard black coating. The knives will all come standard with a KYDEX sheath and optional belt clip attachment and the same quality and lifetime warranty DPx Gear's customers have come to expect.

DPx is excited for its line to expand and looks forward to its customer's feedback once these new models hit the streets.

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.

May 22, 2025

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.
