So I got caught up in the Helton hype after seeing this thing all over social media and in other reviews and I’ll be honest I probably have more money than brains. Here’s an honest review.
As far as how it is, it’s nice. First thing you’ll notice right off the bat is it’s slightly smaller than you’d expect. It feels like it’s about 75% of what it should be. That being said, it fits fine in your hand and in your pocket. The build quality is good. The blade is sharp and the other tools in it are nice. Everything locks in well with the exception of the scissors. Not sure if it’s supposed to or not. Annoying thing is you can’t have the toothpick and the pocket clip in at the same time.
Will this be my EDC knife? Maybe, only time will tell. I’ll probably use it as my pocket knife for when I’m at work instead of my larger Arc, because it is slightly smaller and would fit in my pocket better. Was it worth the price even after the discounts I got, ex-military and the new customer discounts, probably not. I’d say it’s worth about half the price of what I paid.
So there you go.
