I'm happy to announce a partnership between SDO and the good folks at DPx Gear on their line of Folder and Fixed Blade Knives. I've personally been using their products for about 5-years, and their HEST/F Folder has pretty much barely left my side during that time...it goes everywhere with me and after 5-years of heavy duty daily use has never let me down - this thing is rugged. But here's the best part(s) of the HEST/F in my opinion:
Another huge plus - DPx Gear is cut from the same cloth with their love of Rovers, as the founder Robert Young Pelton (RYP) was actually one of the drivers for Team USA in the 1991 Camel Trophy event. This Rover influence has permeated their products, and a partnership of DPx Gear products being offered with SDO was only natural. Side note, but his daughters work for DPx Gear as well and grew up in & around Rovers their entire life (Series III, Defenders, RRC) and they still sport Rovers today - including an Alpine White NAS SW (which I believe is the unofficial DPx Gear vehicle, even bearing a custom DPx Gear license plate).
Anyhow, I've ordered in some inventory in limited amounts (just a few of each knife to get started), and in an effort to establish a relationship with this company I'm throwing some screaming deals out there for the folks here on DefenderSource for this first order only (after these are gone, prices are back to regular price-points).
Essentially, I'm listing everything at a 20% discount off MSRP...and THEN you'll get the additional 10% discount for DefenderSource (coupon code "D90") ON TOP OF THE ALREADY REDUCED PRICE.
The icing on the cake, is I can do free delivery to either MAR or URE as well (but only for the folks attending these events, i.e. no shipping but I will bring them with me). If you are attending either event, use the appropriate coupon code as follows:
There's a few pics below, but here's a link to everything currently offered (and again there will be an additional 10% off the listed prices when you use the D90 code):

- D2 steel blade by LionSTEEL in Italy (blade is polished then milspec phosphate coated).
- Tumble finish 6Al4V Grade 5 titanium alloy frame and spring frame lock.
- Built-in bottle opener on the blade (I'd be lying if I said this wasn't the most used feature on mine!).
- 1/4" hex driver in the handle.
- Wire strippers (3-sizes) integrated into the back of the blade.
- Glass breaker on the butt of the frame.
- The pocket clip sits nice and high at the top, so the HEST completely disappears from view when it's in your pocket (always drives me crazy when I see someones folder sticking half out of their pocket because the clip mounts to the side of the folder).
- LIFETIME WARRANTY

- If you're not attending an event but still want to order, just use the standard coupon code "D90" to get your 10% discount (and shipping should only be ~$6 depending on location).
