Curtiss Knives is a custom knife operation based in Indiana, founded by maker David Curtiss. The lineup focuses on titanium framelock flippers built around precision-machined components and a proprietary pivot system designed for consistent, reliable deployment across every unit.
Models range from compact everyday options like the Dog Tag and Nano flippers up to the full-sized F3 Large. Blade steels include CTS-XHP and Damsteel depending on the configuration, paired with titanium handles that feature Curtiss's signature milling patterns, anodization work, and surface finishes. The machining detail on the handles and hardware is a defining characteristic of the brand—each piece carries a level of fit and finish that sits between production and full custom.
All Curtiss knives are backed by a lifetime warranty from the maker.
