COAST Displays New Innovative LK375 Light Knife
High Performance LED Light Combined with Extremely Versatile Knife
Portland, OR -(Ammoland.com)- We’ve all been in this situation: a sharp knife in one hand and a flashlight in the other, trying to make a decent cut, one-handed, in a dark environment.
If you’re lucky, you make a cut that’s “good enough”. That “good enough” cut may not be sufficient, however,especially while working in a time intensive contractor or DIY project environment. COAST Products customers have asked for a stand-alone tool that combines both a high quality knife with a quality, high-output light, one that places emphasis on safety, accuracy and peace-of-mind.
With 96 years of knife making combined with their industry leading flashlight technology, COAST exceeded customer expectations with the introduction of the new LK375 Light Knife. For maximum versatility in one tool, this new knife is ideal for contractors, remodelers, or home improvement enthusiasts in multiple jobsite situations. See the LK375 at the National Hardware Show (NHS) May 5-7, Booth 34053 and as a featured product at the New Product World’s Emergency Preparedness & Disaster Recovery.
Their products offer advanced quality and innovation, the latest patented and proprietary features and technology, and are perfect for every professional, DIYer, retailer and distributor in the hardware and home improvement industry.
Innovative Design, Engineering and Manufacturing Create One-of-a-Kind Light Knife Providing effortless performance, day in and day out, COAST’s new LK375 is the first knife that includes a real, usable LED flashlight rated by the ANSI FL1 standard to 110 lumens. Powered by a single AAA battery (not button cells), the LK375 is truly a two in one tool, a high quality flashlight with a top-notch optic, the COAST Universal Spot Beam, and a one handed opening, partially serrated knife. The light will project a beam for 53 meters and will run for one hour and 30 minutes on high and over four hours on low. The LK375 is also waterproof rated to IPX7.
The LK375’s 110 lumen output provides exceptional light when working in a challenging, darkened area, while at remote job sites or in any low light or dark conditions. The LK375’s on and off button controls the on/off function and is easy and comfortable to reach with a thumb or one finger of the hand the knife is being held in. The switch function stays on momentarily and has low and high selection levels.
Exceptional Craftsmanship, Built to Last
The Light Knife features a heavy duty, drop point blade, an oval cut-out in the blade for fast, easy opening and a liner lock that automatically locks the blade in the open position. The blade has a partially serrated edge with glass bead finish that resists corrosion. It is 3.75 inches (9.5 cm) long, when closed, and 8.5 inches long (21.5 cm) when open, weighs 5.30 ounces and has a Polycarbonate handle housed in a stainless steel frame. The Light Knife has a pocket clip for convenient carry and the handle has thumb notching for added versatility and control. Resilient in all-environments and temperatures, the LK375 blade is made of high-quality 7Cr17 stainless steel, making it the ideal knife for a variety of jobsites.
Providing a consistent cut each time, along with an exceptional LED light, the LK375 also meets ANSI specifications. And, as with COAST’s entire product line, the new Light Knife is backed by a lifetime warranty.
