Also, there are some new versions of the RC3, RC4 and RC6. Each model will be available with a sharpened swedge. This is probably a tactical feature intended for use with military and law enforcement personnel. They can be seen here.

Thats cool...I want the ESEE Lite Machete. It says they are taking pre-orders but I don't see where to do that at.

I highly recommend Dale. Competitive prices and good customer service. Contact him and see if he is still taking pre-orders.

They also take pre-order in the UK for all new products. I think there is a new distributor there called Survival Knives ltd. There is no link there just yet so as soon as I will see one I will post an update.

Hello I just got an email with some udated news on the new HEST folder which is supposed to be out in December of this year 2010. the Izula folder will not be out till early next year of 2011. You really need to check out the pics of the folders when they become available. Awesome knives. the Hest folder will be of D2 steel and titanium handles I do beleive and it is made in Italy. As usual I am proud to be a direct dealer and sell the ESEE knives. What a great product and with the warranty how can you go wrong.

Hi Sheila,

This is going to be a great knife indeed. Like you I will be able to share more details about those as soon as Jeff and RYP will let us (Dealers and Distributors) know the final price.

Made in Italy is a bit of an understatement here. The HEST F will be manufactured by LionSteel SAS, latest winner of the most inovative knife at Blade show 2010 with the SR1.

Expect to be blown away by it. It will be a very limited run though, 250 serialised number will be sold by ESEE and DPx directly and then 400 available through the dealers and distibutors' networks. FYI guys, only 2 distributors outside of North America: one in Thailand and one in the UK for Europe (us!!).

For once Europe will have the upper hand as there will be no duty import tax it will ship quicker and also shipping will cost peanuts :D So expect some competitive prices on this side of the pond as well.

Watch this space ...

INITIAL CONCEPT / FINAL PRODUCT MAY CHANGE

Introducing the ESEE DPx H•E•S•T /F

After a global search the firm of Lion Steel was selected to manufacture this knife based on their long heritage of quality and award winning solid titanium folders. The DPx H•E•S•T folder is the collaboration of Robert Young Pelton, Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin. Based on Pelton's hard time in dangerous places, ESEE's commitment to customer satisfaction and Lion Steel's mastery of manufacturing and tolerances.
