Coast Skeleton Knife, a Slim No-Frills Design

Update: Here’s our review of the Skeleton Knife, which explains why it’s our least favorite knife to date.

Coast’s Skeleton Knife is a low-profile open-handle folding knife with a 440C stainless steel drop point blade. A thumb stud allows for one-handed opening, and a liner lock keeps the blade open and locked in place.

I have to admit, if it wasn’t for Jeff’s glowing review of Coast’s Z-frame knife, I probably wouldn’t have given the Skeleton a second thought. But from the looks of it, Coast knives are decent for general purpose use, and the Skeleton is easy on the eyes.

The Skeleton in priced at $11-12 at Amazon and eligible for free shipping on orders $25+.

Coast only provides the overall length of the knife (4.25″ closed, 7″ open), but it looks like the blade length is about 2-1/2″ to 2-3/4″ in length or so.
