Founded in 1919, Coast Cutlery Company began making blades in Portland, Oregon. The knife is named after Henry COAST, who, while working as a hardware salesman in the Pacific Northwest, noticed that the men who fished on the Oregon coast needed a sharper knife. In response to this demand, COAST hired a steel fabricator to make a fillet knife with a metal cleaning scoop on the handle. This invention quickly became a bestseller and became COAST’s first innovation.
Today, Coast knives are manufactured in the United States. They provide a high quality cutting edge and are lightweight and easy to sharpen. The handles are made from fiberglass or nylon composite and the blade is composed of 7Cr17 steel. This steel is rust- and stain-free. The blade has been precision-ground and is shaped for easy cutting. It is designed to last for a lifetime and is perfect for outdoor work.
These knives are manufactured in the U.S.A., Japan, China, and Canada. Their construction is high-quality and the blade is incredibly sharp. The handles feature a thumb hole to aid control and grip. They also have a robust design, which makes them easy to handle. Furthermore, they are made from high-density resin and natural wood. In addition, they are backed by a lifetime guarantee.
