Strength and sharpness suited to each job. COAST knives are constructed exclusively from high-carbon stainless steels toughened to the core by treatment with extreme heat and severe cold (-320 degrees Fahrenheit / -195 degrees Celsius). Steels are chosen specifically for each blade based on intended knife use. Higher carbon grades maximize edge-retention in knives designed for hunting and military applications. Hardworking everyday blades integrate a lower-carbon blade that sharpens more easily in response to frequent use.
COAST knife handles match comfort and durability with good looks.
G10 is a specialized composite made from layers of fibrous material and resin compressed under extreme pressure. COAST G10 handles include an interior steel support for durability.
Aluminum provides strength in a lightweight format. COAST aluminum handles are surface-textured to provide a secure grip.
Nylon and fiberglass fill features in handles with a contoured shape. Nearly indestructible, COAST knives with nylon and fiberglass fill handles are also incredibly lightweight.
Natural wood handles are impregnated under extreme pressure with high-strength resin. COAST handles with this special natural wool are extremely durable and chemical resistant.
All COAST knives receive a blade finish for great looks.
Titanium Nitride.
Multiple colors, sleek looks, super durable. The Titanium Nitride finish is achieved by placing the blade in an ion vapor-deposition chamber where the titanium nitride material is vaporized and deposited on the surface of the blade.
Glass Bead
Non-reflective, easy to clean, no fingerprints. The Glass Bead finish is achieved by placing the blade in a bead-blasting chamber where glass bead particles shoot over the blade surface under high air pressure.
Black Oxide
Smooth black, non-reflective, super durable. The Black Oxide finish is achieved by darkening the blade material in a chemical dip-bath process and agitated to ensure the entire surface is covered.
Think making the perfect knife is a quick and easy process? Think again.
At Coast, each knife begins as an idea and then gets put to paper. But it can’t go to production from just that, so each concept is carefully turned into a hand-carved wood handle to test the ergonomics, size, and aesthetics.
After we are confident with the hand done model, we put it back to paper to create a 3D rapid prototype model it gets to put it to the test for form and function. Once we are satisfied that the original idea has passed all the inspections and qualifications to become an official Coast knife, it gets put to full production and finds its way to your hands.
Just because your knife went through all of these hurdles and steps to get to your hand, does not mean the Knife Lab gets to turn the lights off. Every blade in the collection is scrutinized continuously to make sure that it has reached its maximum potential.
Just another reason that Coast Knives are FASTER, SMOOTHER, SAFER.
