The Curtiss Custom F3 Medium Framelock is a premium everyday carry folder that combines bold styling with uncompromising American craftsmanship. Designed by David Curtiss and proudly made in the USA, this knife is built for those who demand exceptional cutting performance, smooth operation, and long-lasting reliability in a refined package.
Its 3.25-inch CPM Magnacut stainless tool steel Wharncliffe blade is engineered for precision, offering outstanding control for detailed cuts while delivering the remarkable edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance that have made Magnacut one of today's most sought-after blade steels. The blade deploys quickly and effortlessly with the flipper tab, while the IKBS ball-bearing pivot provides an incredibly smooth, responsive action. A robust titanium framelock secures the blade with confidence, giving you dependable performance every time it's put to work.
The milled two-tone maroon titanium handles provide lightweight strength and a distinctive custom appearance that sets this knife apart. Stainless steel hardware enhances the knife's rugged durability, while the titanium tip-up pocket clip featuring the signature Curtiss logo cutout keeps it comfortably secured for everyday carry. Measuring 4.5 inches closed and weighing just 4.5 ounces, the F3 Medium offers an ideal balance of portability, comfort, and cutting capability.
Each knife includes a certificate of authenticity, a Curtiss Custom Knives sticker, and a black zippered nylon pouch, making it a worthy addition to any collection or daily carry rotation.
