Behind the Scenes with Free Hill Blades
Curtis Haaland came from a family of artists and enjoyed crafts from a young age. By high school his father began to teach him knife making. Curtis was seventeen when he forged his first blade, made from mild steel using cheap tools and a makeshift forge. At that moment he fell in love with the craft of knife making.
He enjoys that knives can be both a tool and an expression of art all in one. He designs his knives with utilitarian purposes, while at the same time giving them a unique and creative design element. From the designing to forging, grinding, and handle making he wants each and every stage of the knife making process to show intention and purpose. He works hard to make knives in such a way that the lines flow nicely together, capturing the eye of the beholder. Curtis' attention to detail has produced some of the finest traditionally styled knives available.
Ironwood
Renowned for its stunning grain and unmatched density, Ironwood is one of the finest natural materials for knife handles. Sourced from the arid regions of the American Southwest, its natural oils make it resistant to moisture and cracking, while its rich, dark patterns offer a unique aesthetic that only gets better with time.
Butterscotch Linen Micarta
Born from layers of resin infused linen and pressure forged to perfection, this butterscotch colored linen micarta brings an ideal balance of grip, durability, and heritage aesthetic. Developing a warm glow of patina that tells your story after years of use. Lightweight yet incredibly tough, it offers reliable control in all conditions.
