Good for you. We are designing a special HEST folding knife version that comes with ski poles, water filter, coffee maker and kindle! :))

"RYP, are you going to send any out to field testors? Would love to see it in action!"

Dude...I am the field testor....I even took some sexy waterfall shots as soon as I figure out how to post them here.

My bad, my bad. I just ordered the older H.E.S.T. on ebay from Canadian Seller ( Booya, free shipping)

I can't justify buying the folder until, I head out on next stint, especially when I bought the FB.

Can't wait to see the pics. Keep up the good work!

PS: Good job on going for a legitimate knife builder. I feel like Gerber has become the Walmart knife company.

RYP - do you know if ESEE will have these on display at SHOT?

Hi RYP et all,

Could we get a limited edition DPx Pure Survival Folder. - Pretty Please ?
1) I am thinking a nightglow orange handle (to find the darned thing when I drop it - especially in the dark)
2) High polished stainless blade for mirror like signal device (the bottle opener slot may even act like a sight window for the mirror)
3) Mr DP skull tool to be made (fully or partly) of the sparking fire starter metal to be able to make fire. If it is magnetic we could even use it for direction finding...
4) Mr DP skull tool to have the protruding fork wrench moved the left of the front blade at 45 degrees (to not get the nasty holes in my palm when I use the front bit)
5) Have a depression in the micarta handle for bow fire starting and maybe some engraved angles - ala Hood Tool

I understand the need for the HEST which is more of a SERE tool which answers the needs of our armed services and low key users. However the tool you have designed is so outstanding it makes sense for the hard core campers as well.
By the way the top and bottom notches on the blade with the hex key hole in combination with the deep hand grip contour seem to make great lashing positions for an improvised spear....

Keep up the great work !! Cant wait for my three versions to arrive - all paid for already ( I took to heart your comment about the sterile one to church..)

Cheers,

Still waiting, hoping

I was hoping to get it when I got back home from the fall semester, but it sounds like they will be shipped late this week/early next week.

[svizzerams]

I think the DPx Hest Folders are on the move :-)))))))))) !!!!!!!!!

[RYP]

Yes they are Sviz. Enjoy :)

[Kurt]

Yes they are. They are being sent by the USPS who hate me in my neighborhood. So that means I have to go to the PO on Tuesday and convince people there that I know they have them and would they please find someone capable of reading to go look for them.

[Rhah]

Awesome!!
