About Curtis Haaland
My Name is Curtis Haaland, I am 24 years old, and my business name is Free Hill Blades. I've always loved art, knives, and working with my hands. All these things have been part of my life separately until I started this. Art is in my blood, my dad is a potter, my mom is an art teacher and photographer, and both my sisters are excellent artists themselves. When I found out about the craft of knife making it put all three of my passions together. I fell in love with the craft the first time I tried it at age 17 and have been doing it ever since. I'm 24 now and I've been working full time at this for almost two years now. It's not hard doing this everyday when I have an overpowering passion to learn and grow. Every project is an opportunity to try something new and learn. When making these knives the priorities rank in this order: utility, ergonomics, and aesthetics. This channel is to give you a peek into my work and possibly help you in your own endeavors.
