COAST Slayer Laser Flashlight

COAST is an American brand with a legacy dating back to 1919 when it was founded as Coast Cutlery Co. by Henry W. Brands in Portland, Oregon. Originally known for producing high-quality knives for local fishermen and workers, the company significantly expanded its product line to include professional-grade LED lighting, headlamps, and multi-tools over the subsequent decades.

While the brand maintains its headquarters, engineering, and design operations in the United States, most of its manufacturing takes place in China to ensure competitive pricing while maintaining high technical standards. The 'Slayer' line represents their modern approach to EDC (Every Day Carry) tools, integrating rechargeable battery technology with high-lumen output.

Today, COAST remains a family-owned and operated business, led by the third and fourth generations of the Brands family. Their products are sold globally and are widely recognized for their durability and innovative optics, such as the patented 'Pure Beam' focusing technology.
