Its 3.25-inch CPM Magnacut stainless tool steel Wharncliffe blade excels at controlled, precise cutting while offering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The straight cutting edge and reinforced tip make it a versatile performer for everything from detailed utility work to demanding daily tasks. A responsive flipper tab and ultra-smooth IKBS ball-bearing pivot provide fast, effortless deployment, while the titanium framelock delivers rock-solid lockup for dependable confidence every time the blade is opened.
The milled Root Beer bronze titanium handles combine lightweight strength with a distinctive finish that gives the knife a rich, custom appearance. Stainless steel hardware enhances durability throughout the build, while the titanium tip-up pocket clip with the signature Curtiss logo cutout keeps the knife secure and easily accessible. Measuring 4.5 inches closed and weighing just 4.5 ounces, the F3 Medium offers substantial cutting capability in a comfortable, pocket-friendly size.
Each knife includes a certificate of authenticity, a Curtiss Custom Knives sticker, and a black zippered nylon pouch, providing everything needed to protect and showcase this exceptional American-made folder.
