Curtiss F3 Prototype (one off design) - 1000 NET OBO
Dave said this one was what the F3 was going to look like before he changed the design...certianly a piece of history right here...
In terms of condition, it's in great shape. No real dings or marks to speak of. Flats are satin, grinds are done in what appears to be a light acid stonewash. Centered up nice, great detent and blade seating, and lockup in VERY solid! Only reason I'm moving this is that I'm on the books for a BMF with Dave. I apologize, I don't have many exact specs because it is a unique one-off. Very similar in size and feel to most blades in the 3.5-4" blade range.

Cool knife, just need to free up some funds. In terms of condition this one is used insofar as it has been carried a few times. No real marks - in very good shape. I wasn't super impressed with the edge so I took it to the Apex and put a new edge on it out to 800 grit. Lockup is very solid, blade is seated well in the detent which is nice and firm. Centering is almost dead on - to my eye it favors the presentation slightly - NOT EVEN CLOSE to contact on the frame of course!) Blade is right about 3.75" in Elmax.
