Can you still buy the H.E.S.T.?

_woo_ · Jan 30, 2010

Ok I am still a RAT noob. I actually don't own one yet and my purchase date just got pushed back because life sucks sometimes.

I have been doing my RAT research but I just came across the H.E.S.T. tonight and I don't see where you can buy them and what the price is? I really think the Izula will be my first but I really like the idea/look of the H.E.S.T.!!

Thanks guys!

I am not sure but the HEST should still be for sale.

TheGame · Jan 30, 2010

Yes, you can still buy the HEST. I just checked and the first 3 places I went to had them.

As far as price, it seems to be in the 90-100 dollar range at most places.

Knifeworks is a great shop :thumbup:
I got my Izula from them and I'll order an RC-3 from them too

These guys have a good price on the H.E.S.T. and I bought my Izula from them. It was shipped quickly. They are cheap on all RATS:

Tom at Chestnut Ridge is also great. I got my RC 5 from him. He has excellent prices too.

It is a hard choice between the H.E.S.T. so the only thing to do is buy them both :thumbup: It depends on your need but they are the two knifes I cary the most. Good luck, my guess is you will buy one and get the other down the road. You can't go wrong with either.

Thanks guys! Ok next question who can show me a comparison of the Izula and the H.E.S.T.? Does anyone EDC the H.E.S.T.? It looks like it is smaller then the RC-3 but bigger then the Izula.

Thanks guys

Yep, good eye. There are a bunch of comparison pics in the Pictures thread or on google http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=chrome&q=izula hest&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi. The 4th one to the right is the RC3 vs HEST vs Izula.

THANKS!! I don't know who that dude is but I have big time envy!!! The orange handle is the first RAT that caught my eye and the other 2 are the ones I am really thinking about getting. The H.E.S.T. really isnt that much bigger, I really think I could EDC that knife. I like the fact that you can skeltonize the handle. I really like the para wrap look, so that may be what I do if I get one!!!

knivesshipfree.com is where I got mine. Great to deal with and very quick shipping. If you dont mind looking and have some time to spare on getting it, there are several on E-bay.
