Lost my favorite little pocket knife...

[noexit]

I recently lost my favorite pocket knife. It was a Coast C7200 stainless lockback knife. I've had a couple of them over the years. Very slim, only about three and a half inches long, and fits in the front pocket very nicely. It has a certain amount of weight to it and it's been a very useful tool over the years.

I'm hoping I get lucky and find someone who has one in their stash they'd be willing to sell or someone might recommend a similar-sized replacement or upgrade. It wasn't an expensive knife at all, and I'd be willing to upgrade if I found one small, slim and sturdy like this one was.

Thanks for your support!

Coast C7200 stainless lockback

I've not heard of Coast brand knives, Michael, but I'm a big fan of that style knife!
I suggest you look on ebay and in the AAPK stores for Parker, Frost, and Explorer brand knives as they make many similar models to your Coast, and most are reasonably priced.
And BTW, to AAPK!

Hey Michael, private message me or email me your address. I have one and will send it to you.

Michael, that looks like a nice little knife and I'm sure you miss it.

I would like to suggest these four knives that might fit the bill if they appealed to you.
Their stamps have a lot of history and I think you would enjoy packing any one of these or knives similar to them.
I'm sure there are many knives of this size still available.

1. Empire - 3"
2. Joseph Rodgers - 3 1/4"
3. New York knife - 3 1/4"
4. Walkill knife - 3 1/4"

Welcome to the forum and good luck in your search.

A similar replacement judging by the construction and look would be a Kershaw Leek or Chive. They are great edc knives.

Welcome, Michael.

Just yesterday I left my pocketknife on my back porch, and thought I’d lost it. I kept checking my pockets and looking around the kitchen, no luck. Found it a couple hours later when I went out to the back porch again. Felt pretty stupid about the whole thing.

I realized why I don’t lose it more often, though. I have such a strong habit of re-pocketing it immediately after using. Guess I need better recall for the occasional “where did I lay it down?”

Hey there Michael, I'm in Greeneville Tn. Do tell what else you collect as we may have similar interest and need to meet sometime. For the rest of yall we are about 30 miles apart. I'm a case whittler man myself.

[Smalleyds]

Love your whittler collection.

First thing that popped into my mind was this Rough Ryder and secondly a Douk-Douk.

Michael:
Hope you find it, or a similar one that can serve in its place. Good luck!

Someone mentioned that they had never heard of “Coast” knives. I hadn’t, either, until recently when I bought one in a package deal. The one I have is sort of a clone of a “Buck” folding Hunter, only smaller in size. Its package says “Coast Cutlery”. For those that may me interested, see attached photo….

Amazon, eBay is eat up with them several similar to the op if not exactly the same, good knives imho, some made in the good ole USA.

It's been one week short of a year since this member posted here.

Apparently "noexit" ----- found an exit.

[bighomer]

Dang Joe I was a little late with my help.

[Madmarco]

Oh, I failed to notice it was last year, Joe, thanks for pointing that out before we started posting more answers.

And to "noexit", never mind!

[doglegg]

I thought it funny that I offered to send him one but he never replied. Posted and never looked back.

[Madmarco]

I was thinking the same thing, Floyd.
I wonder if he thinks he pulled a fast one on us! lol!
