The Curtiss Custom F3 Compact Framelock Flipper delivers custom-level craftsmanship in a compact package that's built for serious everyday performance. Designed by David Curtiss and proudly made in the USA, this premium folder combines rugged durability, smooth operation, and bold styling that stands out without sacrificing practicality.
Its 2.75-inch slicer blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, outstanding toughness, and impressive corrosion resistance. The stonewashed finish helps minimize the appearance of wear while giving the blade a hard-use look that's ready for work. A blade flipper paired with the silky-smooth IKBS ball-bearing pivot provides fast, effortless deployment, while the titanium framelock delivers solid lockup and dependable confidence with every cut.
The frag-patterned Antique Green titanium handles offer outstanding strength while providing enhanced grip and a distinctive custom appearance. Matching titanium hardware keeps the construction lightweight, durable, and corrosion resistant, while the titanium tip-up pocket clip with the signature Curtiss logo cutout ensures secure, comfortable carry throughout the day. Measuring just 3.75 inches closed, the F3 Compact slips easily into a pocket while remaining capable enough for demanding daily cutting tasks.
Every detail reflects the craftsmanship expected from Curtiss Custom Knives. Each knife includes a certificate of authenticity, a Curtiss Custom Knives sticker, and a black zippered nylon pouch for storage and protection, making it an exceptional addition to any collection or everyday carry rotation.
