The Curtiss Custom F3 Compact Framelock Flipper is a precision-built everyday carry folder that combines custom craftsmanship with premium materials and dependable performance. Designed by David Curtiss and proudly made in the USA, this compact knife is engineered for those who appreciate smooth action, rugged durability, and refined attention to detail.
Its 2.75-inch slicer blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, outstanding toughness, and remarkable corrosion resistance. The slicer blade profile excels at clean, efficient cuts, while the rugged stonewashed finish helps disguise the signs of daily use. A responsive blade flipper and silky-smooth IKBS ball-bearing pivot provide quick, effortless deployment, and the titanium framelock delivers solid, reliable lockup for confidence with every task.
The camo bronze titanium handles give the F3 Compact a distinctive custom appearance while maintaining the lightweight strength titanium is known for. Stainless steel hardware provides lasting durability, and the titanium tip-up pocket clip, complete with the signature Curtiss logo cutout, keeps the knife secure and easily accessible throughout the day. Measuring just 3.75 inches closed, it disappears comfortably into a pocket while remaining ready for demanding everyday cutting chores.
Each F3 Compact reflects the quality and craftsmanship that define Curtiss Custom Knives. Every knife includes a certificate of authenticity, a Curtiss Custom Knives sticker, and a black zippered nylon pouch for convenient storage, transport, and protection.
