The Kershaw Helitack 5570 is a work-ready folding pocket knife built for the daily demands of hunters, outdoorsmen, and tradespeople who need a reliable cutting tool that won't quit. Featuring assisted opening and a built-in flipper, the Helitack deploys fast when seconds count. The blade itself is over 3.25 inches of 8Cr13MoV steel—a proven mid-range stainless alloy that holds an edge through real work and cleans up easily in the field. A gray PVD finish shields both blade and handle from the elements, maintaining that professional look whether you're at camp or on the job site.
What sets the Helitack apart for EDC is its no-nonsense security: a frame lock with a black-oxide overtravel stop keeps the blade locked solid under load, and the deep-carry pocket clip sits low and discreet on your gear. That clip also flips for left or right carry, so it adapts to your draw. At its core, the Helitack is lean and durable—no unnecessary bulk, just a purpose-built folder that earns its place in your kit day after day.
Whether you're breaking down game, maintaining gear at base camp, or handling a hundred small cutting tasks around the property, the Helitack performs without fanfare. The lanyard hole gives you another carry option if you prefer, and the overall design reflects Kershaw's reputation for putting function ahead of flash.
