anyone familiar with these ? Damasteel blade f3 large Curtiss torched Ti handle And torched hardware.
Got offered it in a trade. I love high end knifes but this is higher end than I’m comfortable with. Looks like about $1800 from blade hq but out of stock. Guy wants $900 trade value and said it’s never been carried.
Any info on it will help. I’m not familiar with Curtiss at all. I’m more a mircotech and Medford guy

It is an interesting looking piece! And I'm not a high-end knife guy. But sure don't look like $900 to me. Maybe Dave Melton or one of the makers can chime in!

Nice knife but $900 can buy an ugly but usable vehicle if you look hard and a few guns

I wouldn't take it unless you were absolutely in love with it.
The custom and high-end knife market is out of its mind. Once you go past a few hundred bucks you really start to see diminishing returns. Look around on bladeforums there is an endless turnover of these things.
