Coast Founder's Collection ORIGIN EDC LX532 Folding Pocketknife, Flipper Tab, Frame Lock, Pocket Clip, Stainless-Steel, Black

This knife has been my everyday carry for a while now—always in my pocket, every single day. It’s super lightweight and really comfortable to carry, to the point you almost forget it’s there. Solid build, sharp blade, and reliable performance. If you’re looking for a dependable EDC knife, just buy it. You won’t regret it.

A beautiful and function knife. Great for everyday carry. I like mine so much, I figure, I'll keep it lubed up good. Pull it out every so often and play with it. It is really fun to flip that blade open. I put it in with my collection. I like it that much. Collect it or carry. Heck, for the price buy two, lol. Serious, great knife.

Know what you're getting: to make this as sleek and light as it is, they drop some of the traditional layers in the construction. They still managed to make it comfortable in your hand, and it locks securely open, which is essential with such a long blade. But, the necessary design trade-offs to make that all possible... they result in the sexy flipper-opener thing sometimes getting stuck and needing a jiggle or a second hand to make it work. It's still completely functional, but if you're buying it because of the effortless-looking flick action you see in the videos, you'll be disappointed. I'm torn on the rating. For the currently-discounted price, it's a very nice piece of work, and I'm happy with it, especially for its ability to fit into a pen pocket in a bag, bib, etc. It's nearly a five-star product. But, because the flip-open mechanism is the main selling point, I have to take off a star for the inconsistency of the mechanism. (That said: you can try bending the locking bar a bit to improve the open, but it's very, very difficult to get it precisely where you want it, and it would be easy to bend it so far that it won't lock properly.)

This is a great knife. It’s perfect size to hide in your belt line. Cut a small slit in your jeans to clip it horizontally and you have a deep carry back up knife that can go undetected during a search or pat down…. Just saying. Is hard to hold onto though due to its slender size. I wouldn’t want to use it as an everyday carry.

This product has more pros than cons, so it's okay, but not great. I really enjoy the sleek design and the drop point blade looks gorgeous; fairly sharp right out of the box. This type of knife falls in the category of a gentleman's knife, so it's important that it's small, slim and light weight and it fulfills all those criteria. Another characteristic of a good gentleman's knife is a low-profile pocket clip. This knife fails in this arena. The pocket clip is functional and keeps the knife nicely secured, but about 2 cm protrudes out from pocket; NOT low-profile, aesthetically not appealing. Speaking of appealing, the titanium nitride finish is very nice. Not only has this prevented it from prematurely rusting, but it gives the knife a very nice uniform look. The packaging was also very nice; they did a good job using nice materials. I was NOT impressed with the action of the flipper. The ball bearings provide okay performance, but I have used several knives with a much smoother opening. This knife uses a frame lock to lock knife into place when deployed and I would say it does a good job of locking it down firmly. The flipper tab doubles as a finger-guard to prevent you from slipping when using substantial force, but I've used better flipper tabs that make for a better point-of-contact. I got this product when it was on sale and for the discounted price, I think it was a good value, but I personally wouldn't pay full price for it.

This is the knife that I'm always bringing with me. The quality of the build is rock solid for a little knife. Perfect resistance on the flipper, and it holds an edge really well. Super sharp and strong steel. These guys have been putting out some really good products. Keep it up Coast!

Very sleek design makes the knife feel good in the hand. Hard to disengage the locking mechanism for both opening and closing but definitely harder to close. When “flicking” it open the snub part doesn’t feel as extended out as it should be so 4.5/5 starts

My blade came dull as a butter knife but I have read others have had some decent cheapness to it. However that can be corrected with sharpening and to the preference the specific individual prefers. I think the quality seems good, no blade play, scales are nice and it’s a great size gentleman’s knife. The action reminds me of a mild version of the ZT 0450 where it’s troublesome for some people until you get “the feel” of the flipper. Many feel the flipper can be stubborn or hard to press the blade open but just like the ZT nice you get the feel it only accelerates the fantastic action opening. And with a knife with no assist these types can act like one and truly become fun and enjoyable to open much more than a giving flipper that’s common and requires a wrist flick for the action to be fun. My really only dislike but a strong one is the frame lock. It is not only completely flush with the frame but the lock has an actual degree of recess at an angle that has literally made it impossible for me to close one handed. It’s to slender for a finger to grip that lock with any force to release the blade. I mean it’s not even close nor is it something I could possibly learn how to physically push for blade release with my thumb. It’s so prominently recessed that I can’t or won’t be able to open the lock without both hands. That’s a huge thing for me as I had hoped for a simple slender knife for my top shirt pocket that could easily and quickly whip out, use, and quietly return to my pocket with just a single hands action. If the blade lock requiring two hands won’t bother you it’s a really nice nice that just needs sharpened to your preference. Unfortunately the blade lock is enough for me to return as this particular knife only suites one purpose for me which is a light top pocket knife that can be easily grabbed, used, and return without multiple hands.

This knife is a masterpiece of elegance. Very good steel, not that easy to sharpen but once done it holds its edge very well. I saw some people reviews complaining about the opening mechnism, that is true: the trick is that when you try to open, don't let your middle finger press on the internal edge of the knife in the middle because that pressure prevents the knife from opening; rather let your middle finger lean towards the end of the knife and it will open without issues. Lubricating the mechanism also helps.

Muy mala La lleve al mar y de inmediato se empezó a oxidar No es buen material
