I have been informed by DPX Gear that their 3 new fixed blades made their debut at the Atlanta Blade Show this past weekend and should be shipping to dealers from the end of July 2011.

DPX H.E.S.T. II Fixed blade in Assault and Woodsman models.

DPX H.E.F.T. (Hostile Environment Field Tool) in 4" and 6" blade lengths and in Assault and Woodsman models.

The info I have is that all the models will feature the excellent and high performance Uddeholm Sleipner steel.

Pricing is unknown at this time.

Looks nice. I am not particularly one for a fixed-blade knife, but that wood looks exceptionally good on the H.E.S.T. II!

The DPx H.E.F.T. 4" and H.E.S.T. II look awesome! :)
Definitely interested to hear when pricing is finally out!

Doesn't really look any different from the old hest!

Looks the same but the steel is the THING. Awesome steel - modern D2.

Would much prefer it over wood!
