Hello everone,

For sale - No Trades Please

Curtiss F3 compact stonewashed flipper

Has been carried and flipped, solid lockup and flips like a dream. The factory edge has been stropped on BRKT green compound, the tip is very pointy and the edge shaves hair.

This one has standoffs instead of a back spacer.

I am interested but will decide after I see the pics. Please comment on the overall condition (scratches/centering of blade) Also, what is included? Are you the original owner?

Thanks,
Curtis

Hello Curtis,

I am the second owner. I picked the blade up on these forums, the original owner claims to mot have used it. I used the knife enough to break it in, the action was a bit stiff when I first got it.

I have not put any scratches on the knife that I can see, the entire knife is stonewashed with the exception of the flats on the blade sides. There is a grind mark on the right side near the back of the bevel. I considered sending it in or sharpening it put but I left it alone since it did not affect performance.

The blade is centered, lockup is at about 65% or so and is rock solid.
