The HEST/F 4.0 builds upon the legacy of Pelton's original fixed blade survival knife design, which he created for ESEE Knives circa 2008. It maintains the core principles of being compact, tough, affordable, and meticulously engineered, while incorporating innovative features that set a new standard in the industry. The new models retain classic hard use features like its 7/64” hardware, reversible pocket clip, and stainless steel lockbar inserts, a patented blade notch that can be used as a quick open feature, pot holder and cap lifter; heavy jimping that doubles as wire strippers for the three major gauges of household, detonation and automotive electrical wire; and a 1/4“ hex driver/lanyard hole at the butt of the knife.
The DPx HEST/F 4.0 series is the latest example that Pelton has designed that delivers the benefits of Pelton’s continuous drive for perfection to demanding customers. It’s the newest, go-to, last-forever pocket knife for a lifetime of adventure.
