Introducing the New DPx HEST/F Urban "Triple Black". The Night Rider.
Our latest EDC sized hard use knife, the Urban is now available in matte black Particle Vapor Deposition (PVD) coated CPM S35VN blade with matte black Titanium alloy frame and hardware.
The DPx Gear Triple Black versions have always been a popular option as a low-profile knife for law enforcement and military use where a superior cutting edge and low visual signature are priorities. With its smaller size and American made pedigree, it is sure to become a new favorite for a low profile, high quality knife option. The heirloom quality USA made knife is manufactured by Zack Brown's Southern Grind and is warrantied for life.
These corrosion free folding knives are made to work hard and arrive without oil to prevent dirt buildup. Also included, is a new special edition gray and black DPx Gear American flag logo patch.
The Triple Black configuration has an award winning pedigree. In 2012 DPx Gear released a limited run of 500 of the larger DPx HEST/F 2.0 Triple Black Special Editions, which went on to win that year's Blade Show's Most Innovative Imported Design award. The Urban T3 is EDC for those who work the night shift.
URBAN SPECS
Designed by Robert Young Pelton for DPx Gear, the DPx HEST/F Urban may be the last pocket knife you'll need for every day carry. Small, light and feature-packed, it’s just as at home in your jeans as it is in the tackle box. The ergos on this knife are precise, hand adjusted and solid. DPx Gear creates a unique midnight look for the “T3” that will wear into a beautiful patina.
A quality piece of hand assembled and tuned US craftsmanship that can be passed down generations with the support of the famous DPx Gear warranty and customer service.

Learn about the legendary man, Billy Waugh and see the knife he inspired: The RYP and Bill Harsey Designed, Billy Waugh DEMO Folder.
RYP first met Billy when he was writing his book Licensed to Kill, Hired Guns in The War on Terror. Driving his cop Harley across the country during the winter, Billy graciously took out time from his wedding day to meet at the local Waffle House.
The two men - one an author, and one an operator, both veterans of numerous hot spots often at the same time - hit it off immediately. They have been fast friends ever since.
“The goal was to stay within the same price point as our first folder came out in 2010. An aggressive concept considering the cost of premium materials and what has happened over the last ten years. We’ve enhanced the knife durability, simplified the design, retained the same hard use features, and still offer our famous Skull Tool,” says DPx Gear founder, Robert Young Pelton.
“A proven, heirloom quality knife, crafted by an award winning manufacturer, at a reasonable price with a lifetime warranty. It’s the perfect product for someone looking to get past gas station knives or low priced folders.”
