"I set out to design a no-limits knife with tactical styling, advanced mechanics, and a performance edge on the street and in the woods. Grippy and tough, the injection-molded flat dark earth handle conceals COAST-patented blade assist technology on the inside -- for fast, authoritative opening at the flick of your thumb. And for safety, the COAST Max Lock(TM) and Liner Lock(TM) double down on rock-solid hand protection. Inspired by ancient Japanese bladesmithing, the 3.5-inch, partially serrated Tanto-style blade is made from 9Cr18Mov steel with a flat black titanium nitride corrosion-resistant coating, ideal for piercing, cutting, and slicing with a long-lasting edge. Powerful inside and out, the RX357 is always more than meets the eye."Doug HutchensLead Knife Designer
