I'm picking up various smaller fixed-blade knives lately and this one just arrived on Friday.  I specifically hunted down the NIlox steel version of the DPx H.E.S.T. II because I wanted something with corrosion resistance that would hold an edge fairly well.  There are other versions of this knife that don't use a stainless steel and instead rely on their powder coated blades and your common sense to keep them wiped down with oil to prevent rust from forming.

 

I haven't bothered to see if anyone else on here has posted about the HEST or HEST II so pardon me while I just drop some knife porn...

I like my first one so much that I've got two of the original HEST fixed blades. They're great little knives!

My next purchase for this knife is going to be a horizontal-mount kydex belt sheath.  The MOLLE sheath that it comes with has a kydex insert, but it's big and clunky.  This could easily be a belt knife with the right sheath and several people out there are making them.

 

More to come!

Bottle opener, lashing point, prying tool... whatever you want to use it for I suppose.

Dang! That sure looks bigger than its dimensions show.

 

Looks like a heck of a strong knife.

 

It's definitely deceivingly smaller than it looks, which is what appealed to me.  I've got a couple other smaller fixed-blade knives coming to me soon so I hope to do some size and quality comparisons.

Got to say that those were all simply shot with the iPhone 6 this time. I'd be glad to break out the light-tent and Canon for your collection though!

David,

You Definitely picked out One Heavy Duty knife, for Sure!! I have one Exactly like yours except mine is a Folder, and I still can't get over How thick the Blade is on that knife, it's well over 1/8" thick!! If I remember correctly the blade is as thick as the Skull Tool that came with the knife, and thicker than a quarter too IIRC? I had thought about thinning out the Hurd and took a lot of pictures to put it up for sale and that's when I noticed How Heavy it was Built!!! It's a Hefty knife but with the Ti Side it balances out really well. All of features made into the knife make it really unique and that's another part that I really like!! I also noticed that inside the knife ( with the Blade open) It has Engraved inside the spine ( Made in Italy by "LIONSTEEL") which was something I was aware of when I bought it?? I wonder if that's on every knife they made like that? Anybody know? Does your knife have that David?
Mine was supposed to be one of the 1st Limited Edition knives that came with a Collectors Tin Case, but it showed up in a Silver cardboard Box with the standard DPX HEST Logo & skull printing, and I was disappointed at the time and placed it into the safe with the rest of about 100 too many knives that live in there...

If anyone has anymore information about the Engraving on the inside on the knife, let me know if it means anything specific, other than where it's made and by whom??
Thanks , and Not trying to Hijack any threads..

Nice knife David, that will last a Lifetime of Hard Use my Friend...
