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.

Awesome.

Decent knife, however there are a few things they can improve. The first thing is they can improve is the flip tap is a little small and requires good dexterity to flip open. The second is the clip doesn't not allow the blade to fully fit in your pocket, so the handle sticks out a little. Other than those things its a nice looking blade.

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

I had this knife for a 2 years and never reviewed it. The build quality is very good, and it held its razor sharp edge for quite some time; I've only sharpened it once and it's still shaving sharp. It always flicked open exactly like I wanted it to (not too tight, not too lose). Personally, I find its size to be perfect [don't feel it in pockets]. It's thin construction, but still has a long enough blade to do pretty much anything ya need. 10/10, honestly.

I state the following without the slightest trace of hyperbole: this knife is, without question, the most regrettable implement I have ever had the misfortune of handling. Were it within my power to assign a rating of zero stars, I would do so unreservedly. I procured this item with the intention of acquiring a discreet and refined gentleman's knife. Something both functional and elegantly minimal. Regrettably, what I received falls egregiously short of even the most basic expectations. The locking mechanism is of notably poor quality, both flimsy and erratic in function. When closed, it actively impedes the blade’s deployment, rendering the knife effectively unusable in any practical or timely fashion. Should one, through persistence or luck, manage to coax the blade into an open position, it fails to remain securely locked—a flaw so grave that it introduces not only frustration but a genuine safety hazard. This product is not merely unsatisfactory; it is, in fact, dangerous. Given the numerous superior alternatives available within this price range, I strongly urge others to avoid repeating my error. Invest your money elsewhere.

I really wanted to love this knife, but, it was a dissappointment. The appearance and profile was very appealing to me. I was not thrilled by the materials, but, I was hoping the design and execution would make up for the less than stellar materials...after all, it is a pokey-stabby, not a hard use work knife. I like the look of it, and the design was well thought out, simple and elegant. However, that's where my affection for the knife ended. Deploying with the flipper was hit and miss, and required an aggressive approach. The detent was too strong for me taste, and did not seem to be ramped at all. It was difficult to close with one hand, although it did lock up solidly, with no play. The blade profile was nice, but, imperfectly ground and not perfectly centered. The finish was thin or worn off in a few spots right out of the box. Perhaps they accidentally sent me one that had been handled prior to shipping. In any case, it did not inspire confidence in the coating material. Overall, I like the design, it just wasn't executed well, in comparison to the similar knives of this type that I have got from CRKT, Boker, Schrade, or even some of the no-name budget ones. This knife could be really good, and would be competitive at this price range with a bit more attention to detail in manufacturing, an upgrade in materials, and a deep carry clip.

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!
