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

Pros: slim profile, came sharp-ishCons: this particular liner lock is awkward to use, blade geometry can't cut well. Would need to be reground to proper profile to be a useful cutting tools.This is a real mixed bag. It's like someone got the form factor right, but failed at actually using it. It's a real shame as it looks good, fits in pocket really well, but isn't good at what it's intended to do - cutting. It acts like a wedge more than a knife, pushing things apart.

Like it with a pair of khakis. Need to break it in a little bit. Sharp enough. Definitely light duty.

The media could not be loaded. 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.
