The Curtiss Customs F3 Compact Framelock brings the precision engineering and premium craftsmanship of David Curtiss into a smaller, highly capable everyday carry design. Proudly made in the USA, this manual folder delivers a perfect balance of rugged performance, refined materials, and pocket-friendly versatility for users who expect more from their gear.
Its 2.75-inch CPM Magnacut stainless tool steel Spanto blade provides excellent cutting control with the added strength and durability of the Spanto profile. Magnacut steel offers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making this compact folder ready for daily tasks and demanding use alike. The blade deploys smoothly with the flipper tab, while the IKBS ball-bearing pivot provides fast, effortless action. A dependable titanium framelock ensures secure blade engagement and reliable performance.
The milled Sunset titanium handles give the knife a distinctive look while maintaining the lightweight strength titanium is known for. Stainless steel hardware adds durability throughout the build, and the titanium tip-up pocket clip with the signature Curtiss logo cutout keeps the knife secure and accessible. Measuring just 3.75 inches closed, the F3 Compact delivers impressive capability in a streamlined package that's easy to carry wherever the day takes you.
Each knife includes a certificate of authenticity, a Curtiss Custom Knives sticker and patch, Loctite 242 for maintenance, and a black zippered nylon pouch for secure storage.
