This Curtiss Compact F3 folder is the smaller, stealthier version of the regular F3 flipper. This one has a two-tone finished blade with satin faces and blasted/stonewashed grinds. The blue anodized titanium handle is diamond textured and has a notched backspacer.
The F3 Compact has the S.P.O.T. pivot with the IKBS bearing system. "S.P.O.T." stands for Stop Pin Over-Travel. The large diameter prevents over travel and up and down movement by improving the lock bar stabilization. Second, the stop pin locks into a pocket on the bottom of the pivot head and prevents the pivot from rotating.
