CURT HAALAND ~ Free Hill Blades
I discovered Curt on Instagram where he he has a very loyal following. What drew me to Curt’s work were the Flowing Lines of his designs and his incredible Hand Forged San Mai Steel. However, when I held one of his knives ~ I had a whole new appreciation for his distinctive work.
Fort Henry Custom Knives is proud to be a Dealer for Curtis Haaland of Freehill Blades
~ Direct from the Maker ~
After receiving this knife, I knew immediately why Curt Sells Out so quickly!
This is Curt’s most popular Model – the Predator ~ an artistic, Sole Authorship knife with Amazing attributes and Hand Filling Contours
The Blade of this beautiful knife is Flat Ground from Curt’s own Hand Forged San Mai Steel. The mesmerizing pattern on the blade clearly shows the darker 80CRV2 Core in contrast with the Tough 410 Stainless exterior. Curt left the Forging marks on the Flats for even more contrast. This Ancient Forging Technique results in a Blade that offers incredible Cutting potential with superior surface protection.
This is a Full Tang knife with one of the most Amazing ~ and Most Comfortable Custom Contoured Handles that I have ever held. In the pic below, the Harder Steel Core of the San Mai is easily visible.
I wish I could show how Curt contoured the Gorgeous Stabilized Maple Burl handles with Dips and Swells to have a Natural, Ergonomic shape which both fills the Hand and is extremely comfortable.
This Hand Made Haaland Predator would be the envy of every Hunter in Camp!
Curt also Hand Crafted the Thick Custom RH Leather Belt Sheath from High Quality Vegetable Tanned Shoulder Leather
A very special knife for those that appreciate the Superior Quality of a truly Hand Made Knife.
This Haaland Predator comes complete with a Hand Written COA
We will continue to see INCREDIBLE things from this new Maker and I am glad to be in on the ground floor of his career.
