DPx Gear HEST/F Triple Black Folder 3.25 Black Niolox Blade Titanium Knife

  
DPx HEST/F Triple Black Combo Edge. This is a pre-owned knife by DPX Gear. Made in Italy by Lion Steel. Awesome knife, limited edition to 500 and now diascontinued. You see a lot of DPX Gear HEST/F style folders for sale but not many with a serated edge! This one is in very good condition with some blade finish wear from usage.

As seen in pics are a few finish scratches to the blade only. Comes in box and outer paper sheath. Also note the box has some "crinkle " in it. In 2012 DPx Gear released a limited run of 500 of the HEST/F 2.0 Triple Black Special Edition which went on to win that year's Blade Show's Most Innovative Imported Design award.

The limited run came with a unique skull tool constructed with an embedded, handmade Pyser SAS compass. Due to the overwhelming demand for that knife, DPx Gear has now added the HEST/F Triple Black to its production line of knives but this time around, the knife requires no special tool for adjustment. Not only does this allow for easier field adjustment, it reduces the cost of the knife so this unique hard use folder is accessible to even more customers. The HEST/F Triple Black is an extremely low-profile knife designed for law enforcement and military use where a superior cutting edge and low visual signature are priorities.

The 3.25 German Niolox corrosion resistant blade is matte black TiCN PVD coated to increase hardness and concealability. One side of the frame is scaled in grip textured black American G10 polymer. The other slab is 6Al4V titanium alloy that is black TiCN PVD coated. Like the other DPx HEST/F models, the Triple Black comes with the patented RotoBlock to lock the folder open. Three sizes of wire strippers serve as unique and slip-proof jimping. A removable glass breaker screws into the butt of the knife, and the hex driver in the handle may be used with the knife open or closed. German Niolox 60 HRC tool steel blade with black TiCN PVD coating and DPx custom serration pattern. Black PVD-coated 6A14V titanium alloy frame. Integrated glass breaker with optional smooth head screw included. Black textured G10 4mm structural scale. Easily adjustable with all Torx screw construction.
