DPx Gear's First All American folder is built to last lifetimes. Designed by Robert Young Pelton of DPx Gear, the DPx HEST/F Urban is the last pocket knife you'll need for everyday carry. Small, light, and feature-packed, it's just as at home in your jeans as it is in the tackle box. An heirloom-quality piece of US craftsmanship that can be passed down generations with the support of a no-questions-asked lifetime warranty DPx Gear customers deserve.
Designer Robert Young Pelton is not just known for surviving wars, he is also an award-winning designer, having earned recognition for his knife designs and has secured over a dozen patents for DPx Gear.
The DPx Gear HEST/F (Hostile Environment Survival Tool/Folding) Urban takes all the beefiness and durability of the HEST family and delivers it in a compact, under three-inch blade. It is an heirloom quality folder that will find itself in the pockets of those who appreciate American quality, engineering, materials, and finish. The front scale is made from anodized and hammered titanium and the back scale is made from titanium with the same black PVD coating as the blade.
The idea of carefully sourcing and obsessively manufacturing every single part and component, using only the most durable materials is not a task taken lightly by DPx Founder and Designer Robert Young Pelton. "We not only wanted to keep manufacturing and jobs in America but also raise the satisfaction bar for the owner. A tough knife made without excuses, for a lifetime of use and with the patience to field test it to get it just right." As Pelton says, "I treat my customers like friends and family, all the way from the initial idea to customer service. I don’t accept anything less than excellence."
