DPx H•E•S•T behind enemy lines in Burma/Myanmar

[RYP]

Some of the folks on this forum wonder how DPx products are developed, tested and used. You have seen pics from Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and now Burma/Myanmar. There are number of ethnic liberation groups fighting the dictatorship of Myanmar from remote jungle bases. This is the Karen National Liberation Army. Their combat/utility knife of choice?

The DPx H•E•S•T of course.

Interesting way to carry the knife, horizontally on the right side of the LBE.

To see the picture, I had to paste the link into my browser.

Edited to add: Crap! I missed the one where he lashed it as a bayonet on his AK!

WOW!! Thanks for sharing the picks...especially the ones from Myanmar. Every time I read anything regarding the Karen Freedom Fighters, it reminds me of Rambo4 and I wonder if anything has really changed for the better in the past few years.

The HEST lashed to the AK is awesome.

Nice collection, Robert. As usual, I prefer your B&W's--they are awesome.

 

[master_blaster]

a HEST nestled neatly between an AK and a hand grenade....not bad.

hest bayonet is the coolest knife pic I have seen for a while.

 

[PayetteRucker]

haha, guerrilla armies all over the world are going to start showing up on the news with these wierd little black knives mounted everywhere, leaving a trail of where RYP has been. Ope, that Liberian freedom fighter has a HEST, RYP has been here...

That will become all sorts of lost and useless after a few rounds heat that barrel up

Nice to see the pictures but it looks like it would get in the way of shouldering the weapon.
