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.
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.
Specs-
Overall Length: 5.75" Blade Length: 2.31" Cutting Edge: 2.25" Blade Thickness: 0.16" Blade Material: N690 Hardness: 60 RC Blade Grind: Hollow Blade Finish: Stonewash Edge Type: Plain Handle Length: 3.44" Handle Thickness: 0.48" Handle Material: Titanium Weight: 3.82 oz Pocket Clip: Right Hand, Tip-Up Knife Type: Manual Opener: Flipper Lock Type: Frame Lock Brand: Curtiss Knives Country of Origin: USA

TX_planes said: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
