Folding Pocket Knife - Kershaw Helitack - 5570
Kershaw Helitack Pocket Knife with Assisted Opening Mechanism, 8Cr13MoV Steel, Durable Frame Lock, and Protective PVD Coating
The Kershaw Helitack (Model 5570) folding work knife is an exceptionally robust, slim, and reliable tool specifically designed to handle the most demanding everyday cutting tasks. Its 8.3 cm blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, renowned for its ability to take an extremely sharp edge and retain it for a long time. Both the drop point blade and the stainless steel handle are protected by a matching gray PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, providing outstanding resistance to scratches, corrosion, and wear while delivering a sleek, uniform, and discreet appearance.
The Helitack stands out for its speed and ease of use, as it is equipped with Kershaw's famous assisted opening system. With a simple press on the integrated flipper, the blade deploys instantly and locks securely thanks to the strong frame lock mechanism. For even greater reliability, the locking system features an integrated black-oxide overtravel stop that stabilizes the blade and prevents lock bar deformation. In addition, the long deep-carry pocket clip is fully reversible (left/right, tip-up), allowing the knife to sit deep and securely in your pocket, while the handle is completed with a practical lanyard hole.
Ideal Uses
- Everyday Carry (EDC): Thanks to its extremely slim profile (handle thickness of just 11.2 mm) and deep-carry clip, it is ideal for users seeking a powerful yet discreet pocket knife for daily use that does not attract attention.
- Professional Use & Tradesmen: A tool ready for hard work in warehouses, construction sites, or workshops. Ideal for cutting thick cardboard, rope, plastic zip ties, and flexible tubing.
- Outdoor Activities & Camping: The drop point blade geometry and durable PVD protection make it an excellent companion for camping, fishing, hunting, or hiking, as it withstands moisture and harsh outdoor conditions.
- Law Enforcement & Tactical Use: The instant assisted opening mechanism with flipper allows one-handed deployment (even while wearing gloves), providing immediate readiness in emergency situations.
Main Features & Advantages
- Assisted Opening with Flipper: Fast, smooth, and reliable blade deployment with minimal finger pressure.
- Durable 8Cr13MoV Steel: High-quality alloy offering an excellent balance of hardness, ease of sharpening, and toughness.
- Protective Gray PVD Coating: Premium protection for both blade and handle against rust, chemicals, and daily abrasion.

Tactical Corner Tip: Cleaning, Lubrication & Sharpening Guide for Assisted Opening Knives
Mechanism & PVD Coating Maintenance: Assisted opening knives are sensitive to the accumulation of pocket lint, dust, or dirt around the pivot area. Never use thick grease or standard machine oils, as they attract debris and will slow blade deployment. Clean the pivot with compressed air and apply a single drop of specialized lightweight knife lubricant (such as KPL). For the gray PVD coating, a simple wipe with a microfiber cloth lightly moistened with maintenance oil will remove fingerprints and keep the matte tactical finish looking like new.
Proper Sharpening of 8Cr13MoV Steel: Critical Expert Tip: 8Cr13MoV steel is exceptionally easy to sharpen, meaning you can restore its razor-sharp edge with minimal effort and without expensive diamond sharpening systems. Do not allow the blade to become completely dull. Use a ceramic rod or a medium/fine grit sharpening stone (1000/4000 grit) while maintaining a consistent 20-degree angle. Finish by stropping the blade on a leather strop with polishing compound to remove the burr and achieve a perfect mirror finish on the edge.
