The Ultimate in Design and Quality
Hill Knives Holland:
for handmade custom and high-tech folding knives
The Dutch Knife making company Hill Knives was founded in 1981 by Frans
van den Heuvel (father) and Albert van den Heuvel (son), who both have a
technical background as toolmakers.
It started as a hobby in 1975. They made knives for themselves and a
few friends, but soon the orders came from all over the globe. The choice to
make handmade knives full-time was easily made. Nowadays son Albert is in
charge of the firm and by his hand the most beautiful folding knives arise.
Even the Outdoor-Folding knife nr. 1, which looks like a simple
folding knife, has a very high-tech system in it.
These folding knives open and close very easily like the door of a
Mercedes Benz. And this model is also handmade like all other Hill Knives.
Not only their work is of a high standard but also the aesthetic side
of the job is very well done. For that reason a lot of famous companies (like
Asprey in London,
Browning Arms and the French "Watch Architect" Alain Silberstein)
like to sell Hillknives products. Also the Swiss SIG-Arms chose a Hillknives
luxury folding knife to complete their set of pistols and knives (a limited
edition).
For the Special Forces KCT in the Netherlands they make the SOK
(Special Operation Knife) a real heavy duty knife.
Both knife makers are still proud they were able to make a special
hunting knife and an engraved folding knife for his Royal Highness Prince
Bernhard of the Netherlands.
