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.

Solid knife. Very slim and useful

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.)

handy knife for cutting open letters or slicing apples. fits in my pocket while clipped to the edge of the pocket so i can find it quickly.

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 love the sleekness of the blade and it is very low profile in my pocket. Exactly what I was looking for

I really liked the form factor of this knife and it seems to hold an edge well in the little time I've used it. I have been fairly delicate with it and not put any real pressure on it but the blade now has a bit of a wobble. Really disheartened as I am a journeyman by Coast point standards and this causes me to pause in future Coast purchases. Great concept but the locking mechanism is just too soft, evidently. This was to be my EDC but rethinking now.

Black Friday deal. Don't think I'd pay 50 for this but 20-30. Great knife. Flips so smooth an I'm sure coast would fix or replace whatever. Only knife company I trust more is Gerber. Solid drop point tho for sure. What I'd expect from coast 100%.
