Bought one 10 years ago at a random hardware store for like 10 bucks, never expected to still carry the thing to this day. Ive abused this knife so much and it still takes an edge and holds it as well as the day i got it.

Broke on first day while attempting to cut mile tape, but I got two because of the price.

Went to cut through some mule tape and the retention lock bent backwards and so did the blade. Couldn't add photo file size too large.

This came very sharp and is well made, I just have an issue with how difficult it is to open. I have another coast knife and it opens with no issues; in fact, it opens fast. I'm not sure if there is a something with this, but it will not open with one hand.

Right out the box(clamshell) this knife was rather sharp. Great texture on the sides. The lock isnt too obtrusive and easily engaged or disengaged. Obviously one handed it opens and closes great. The pocket clip isnt too tight or loose. The overall length is more for medium size hands so it handles easily. Doesnt wobble once open. 10/10 would recommend. Going to buy another for when i do break this one doing something I shouldn't with it. Ive pried car electrical connectors with it. Cut orange peels. Sliced rope. And no major issues. Even used it on some toy nerf blasters cutting some pieces. Works great.

This replaces one I bought a few months back. Still missing. Still looking for it. Anyways, blade is always sharp. No matter what I threw at it. Flip of the wrist and it?s open. Great knife.

The Coast crew took good care of me. I had a belt clasp snap and was looking for a simple replacement part. They sent a whole new knife!

Bought it just to meet the free shipping requirement. Glad I did. It's become my favorite folder. Tight lockup and razor sharp.

I got this knife years ago and it kept a great edge using it daily to cut down boxes, tape, whittle, chop, you name it. The belt clip finally broke so I carried it in my pocket. I finally lost it last week and am ordering another to replace it. The original had an aluminum handle and I am sure the polymer handle will work just fine. Thank you for a great knife!

Thank you for the replacememt-appreciate the customer service. I did however have to unsubscribe from your newsletter due to receiving almost daily ads about Coast products. Once a month would have been plenty. But again, Coast did a fine job with the replacement. Thank you.

For the money, you can’t beat it. Not to mention Coast stands behind their products.

This is definitely my favorite knife. It's everything a knife should be, it fits in your hand great and feels good, it's sturdy and stylish. I've paid a lot more for worse knives, so the price point can't be beat. I have bought a lot of these knives to give out as gifts, and other than the one in my pocket right now, I have one in all of my jackets and bags because they're that good.

Great knife for the price! Decent steel. Good fit and finish. Can pick one up at the hardware store. What's not to like?

Great knife lost it 3 times outside for a couple of months. Still has no rust. Caught the clip on a fence and it snapped off.

Bought one 10 years ago at a random hardware store for like 10 bucks, never expected to still carry the thing to this day. Ive abused this knife so much and it still takes an edge and holds it as well as the day i got it.
The DX340 Knife comes with a checkered fiberglass-filled nylon handle and thumb notches on top of the blade for a secure grip. Utilizing our Double Lock technology, anyone can work with confidence knowing that the added safety prevents the knife from accidentally closing. It easily opens with one hand using thumb studs on the blade, and you can adjust the 3-position pocket clip to adapt to your carrying style.
With Coast's commitment to quality, the DX340 Knife is backed by Coast's lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Double Lock
The Double Lock System works with the knife's Liner-Lock to not just make it safe, but double safe. When the blade is opened, the Liner-Lock automatically engages and locks the blade open, but when extremely rugged cutting is anticipated, the user can push the Double Lock switch forward. When in the forward position, the switch blocks the Liner-Lock from disengaging and thereby preventing the blade from closing on your hand. The safety detent-action is adjustable to your desired tension with a screw on the side of the knife.
To operate, simply open the blade and push the switch atop the knife forward to engage the Double Lock and pull back to disengage. The knives still have a Liner-Lock to disengage as well to close the blade.
