The Curtiss Custom F3 Compact Framelock Flipper delivers premium American craftsmanship in a compact folder that's built to handle everyday cutting tasks with confidence. Designed by David Curtiss and proudly made in the USA, this knife pairs exceptional materials with flawless machining and smooth action for a carry piece that's as capable as it is distinctive.
Its 2.75-inch slicer blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel, providing outstanding edge retention, excellent toughness, and superior corrosion resistance. The slicer profile is designed for clean, efficient cuts, while the rugged stonewashed finish helps conceal the marks of regular use. A responsive blade flipper works in conjunction with the silky-smooth IKBS ball-bearing pivot to deliver fast, effortless deployment, and the titanium framelock provides dependable lockup for confident performance every time the blade is opened.
The aqua blasted titanium handles give the F3 Compact a bold custom appearance while maintaining titanium's renowned strength and lightweight feel. A vibrant yellow titanium pivot creates an eye-catching accent that sets this model apart, while durable stainless steel hardware ensures long-term reliability. The titanium tip-up pocket clip, featuring the signature Curtiss logo cutout, keeps the knife secure and comfortably accessible throughout the day. Measuring just 3.75 inches closed, it's compact enough for effortless pocket carry without sacrificing cutting capability.
Each knife includes a certificate of authenticity, a Curtiss Custom Knives sticker, and a black zippered nylon pouch, reflecting the attention to detail and quality expected from a handcrafted Curtiss Custom folder.
