MSRP pricing is up on our web site. Some of the dealers are already pre-selling these now.

Please note:

INITIAL CONCEPT / FINAL PRODUCT FINISH AND MINOR DETAILS MAY CHANGE
At this time, all photos are rendered concept photos. Production prototypes are due to ESEE/DPx in September. Once we receive these prototypes new photos will be emailed to all the dealers.


BASIC INFORMATION

Introducing the ESEE DPx H•E•S•T /F (Hostile Environment Survival Tool / Folding)

For the first time the brutal, rugged feel and performance of the DPx H•E•S•T fixed blade has been engineered into a hard use frame lock folder. The D2 Tool Steel folder comes with a Titanium alloy frame, patented RotoBlock adjustment, removable glass breaker (with replacement smooth-head screw), hex-bit driver in handle/frame, and collectible stainless steel “Mr. DP” adjustment/multi tool. After a global search the firm of Lion Steel was selected to manufacture this knife based on their long heritage of quality, award winning folders. The DPx H•E•S•T folder is the collaboration of Robert Young Pelton (World’s Most Dangerous Places fame) and ESEE Knives. The DPx H•E•S•T Folder is based on Pelton's hard time in dangerous places, ESEE's commitment to customer satisfaction and Lion Steel's mastery of manufacturing quality and tolerances. The DPx H•E•S•T Folder is designed and made for hard use in hostile conditions with the ESEE lifetime warranty. To learn more, visit www.dpxgear.com and www.eseeknives.com

"STREET” Price is going to be around: $ 175.00

I'm thinking around 3.8oz -4.2oz of course as I said before weight is a HUGE factor for many including myself to EDC. Although I'm all in for one regardless...

Thanks for the Update !!!!

Im gonna have to wait and see actual pictures of this bad boy before i spend 175 plus on it.
 
I think the price is good but am wanting to see what changes come.
I'm sure it won't be anything that will stop me from wanting one.
 
Dumb question, but I'm curious:
What's the reason for having scales on one side only? Is it a question of weight?
Just from eyeballing the photo, it looks like the pocket-clip is of sufficient size to fit with two scales, so surely that's not it, is it?

Just wondering aloud. Looks like a great product, but would there not be an advantage in the form of a better grip?

My apologies if this has already been discussed!
 
the scales are on one side only because of the titanium frame lock. instead of a liner lock which isn't as strong.

Judging from the MSRP, the price in Europe should be pretty similar to what we pay for the ESEE-5, right?

Just trying to get a handle on how many pennies need to go into the jar, or if I need a bigger jar :D
 
Hi R.A.T. -

That sounds like a winner.

I am already on a list to get a production model, and have the DPx site quick-linked so I can check it regularly.

I like everything - it will be a great hard-use knife with great features.

Thanks and best regards -
