With the most stringent safety needs in mind, Coast designed the FDX knives to operate simply and effectively. When the knife blade is opened, the Frame-Lock automatically engages which locks the blade open. For added safety, the user can push the Double-Lock switch on the top of the handle forward which engages the Double-Lock system. Closing the knife is just as simple by reversing the procedure.
Patented tension controlprovides maximum flexibility in adjusting to just the right tension or detent action for individual needs. Simply turn the tension mechanism to the right to tighten the tension and to the left to create a lighter tension.
CoastFDX302 Knife with Titanium Nitride Finish
The FDX utility knives’ open frame construction provides a light, yet solid stainless steel frame with a unique handle pattern. Heat treated for strength and available in a glass bead finish or Titanium Nitride gray coating, the frame and handles showcase a classy-tactical look. Ergonomically designed with chamfered handle openings, the contoured shape design enables a firm, comfortable grip.Thumb-notching on the top of the blade provides a non-slip pressure point during heavy cutting. Both FDX models have a 3-inch drop-point blade that mirrors the handle finish. The tough, durable blades are rigorously tested for sharpness and are constructed of 7Cr17 stainless steel.
The blades are precision grounded, heat-treated, cryogenically treated and tempered for flexibility. These features ensure the best performance possible in demanding environments. The pocket clips have three mounting positions for increased convenience, easier carrying and a more secure attachment without movement. To reposition the pocket clip, the screws can be heated for a minute with a blow dryer. This process softens the thread locking adhesive making it easy to remove. Reinstalling and securing the pocket clip into a new mounting position is simple. Ambidextrous blade thumb studs are included to allow for right or left-hand blade-opening. To prevent their loss, the screws are locked into place using the thread locking adhesive. Users can attach a lanyard via the lanyard hole, so they can be carried around the neck or over the shoulder, helping to avoid loss and keeping both hands free.
“For every outdoor enthusiast, camper, hiker, backpacker, or any person who wants one of the best knives available today, our new FDX knives offer a new patent pending locking system,” noted Coast President David Brands. “Providing greater peace of mind and uncompromised high standards, the FDX300 and FDX302 are the ideal knives for every perilous or inclement situation when having total reliance on the safety, quality and durability of your gear is essential. Coast’s new knives are designed and engineered with exceptional, matchless workmanship and safety – strength, performance, and value are all part of the FDX knives. This new knife line packs exceptional qualities in a compact package, sure to be the go-to knives whether on the trail, at work, or at play.”
