DPx Gear HEST II  Woodsman

The craftsmen at LionSTEEL in Maniago, Northern Italy, manufacture the DPx H•E•S•T™ II Woodsman fixed blade knife. This knife is the Italian-made answer to the original DPx H•E•S•T and features various enhancements to the original configuration, including Sleipner steel, a revised pry bar angle and a slightly modified hollow handle. Sleipner steel is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloyed tool steel that boasts extreme wear resistance, resistance to chipping, edge retention, hardness (60 HRC) and excellent “toothiness” in fine cutting. The Woodsman is a perfect size and balance for use as a skinning knife and camp tool. The handle is scaled in natural, mirror matched, Brazilian Santos hardwood and the blade is stonewashed to a soft glow. The Woodsman weighs 5.2oz and comes with an Italian leather, hand sewn.oil-tanned sheath.
