DPX HEST/F Decade – M390 Stonewashed Blade – Gunmetal Gray TiCN Coated Titanium Handle – DPXHSF011
DPX Gear RPDPHSF011 HEST/F 3.0 Ti Decade Folding Knife
Introducing the Titanium edition of the DPx HEST/F 3.0 – the Titanium DECADE. This special edition celebrates DPx Gear’s ten years as one of the top knife companies.
The Ti DECADE is made by LionSTEEL in Maniago, Italy, an award-winning company that puts up with the constant perfection designer Robert Young Pelton demands What did DPx do to improve the already well-built knife? They sourced the most durable blade steel; M390. To ensure a smooth opening, they put it on bearings with an IKBS set up. For added strength without increasing weight, they hollowed out the titanium scale, removed the RotoBlock, and added a 440 stainless lock bar insert.
The ultimate in elegant strength. The perfect way to celebrate ten years of the DPx HEST/F.
