DPx HEAT advice

[jevacqua]

So I purchased a Spyderco Techno a while back and it has quickly become my almost constant EDC with its size and stout stature. So the next step for me seemed to be a DPx Heat as it fits the requirements and desired specs that I'm looking for. My question is this. What model tops the others? I know there are a number of steels and handle materials that make up these knives and I find myself being drawn to the full titanium simply because it is no nonsense and I know what to expect as well as for the uniformity on both scales. If anyone has any sort of advice as to which models are worth taking a look at or which have been favorably reviewed I would be grateful to hear any advice or if I'm wasting my time all together looking at this knife and should look at another blade. Thanks for the time.

I just have the nothing fancy basic olive version, but I can attest to the fact that the knife is an amazing design and super practical as well. It's the toughest small knife that I've ever owned and that's what I love about it. In fact, I owned a Hest and a heat, and sold the Hest but opted to keep the heat because I ended up liking it more. The dpx knives are a bit on the heavier side since they are built like tanks, so opting to go w/ the full ti version might not be a bad idea...plus they look so dang sleek. I do think that they are a great investment and I don't believe you'd be wasting your time or money...I truly feel like it's one of the most underrated designs on the market...hope this helps!

I absolutely Loved the First Production run in Sleipnir!
That alloy is one of my favorites when it comes to high carbide content.

I found one in Sleipner and shred carbon fiber with a blackwash blade. Love it. Got it used here on the forums.
