Coast Knife Co. of Portland, OR. USA
on: September 25, 2013, 06:37:26 AM
Coast is an established brand in the western USA.  Coast knives and tools are sturdy, working knives and tools.  I kind of like working with the knives.  Here are my 3 favorite Coast knives. 

The Coast Aloxes are very good quality and hold up in all types of environments be it on land or aboard ships.   

Coast knives are kind of a regional company with distribution in the Western USA.  So I will share some examples of Coast quality with the world.

Sorry, but I don't like that exact copy of a Victorinox Classic.  That's just not right imo. :-\

Yeah,

When Coast switched to overseas manufacturing a lot of knockoffs were produced.  The top knife with the black handles is a better indication of a Coast knife design.

Don't they also sell rebranded LED Lenser flashlights?

That's my understanding, though I don't know it it's still the case now that LM own LED Lenser.

I have one or two Coast MT's they are surprisingly decent.  Not Leatherman/Gerber/Vic quality but just a notch below, still much better than most of the other non big name brands.

Yeah, I agree Coast is a reliable brand.  Coast's problem is they do not have strong distribution  and now everything is produced off shore.
