Fort Henry Custom Knives is proud to be a Direct Dealer for Mark Nevling of Burr Oak knives 

Direct from the Maker from the Blade Show 2013 

This particular knife is one of Mark’s beefy tactical models called the Urban Tactical – but it has some amazing upgrades from the standard model.

The Doug Ponzio Custom Damascus Bolsters are milled to fit precisely to the custom Carbon Fiber Handle Scales.  The blade was hand forged by Mark and is made of a San Mai of 416 Stainless with a 52100 High Carbon Damascus core. This is an extremely labor intensive method to create steel but it provides an amazingly strong blade with a Core that will take and hold a Razor edge.  The Differential Heat Treat and Etch clearly shows the Hamon which delineates the Hardness zones of the blade.

Mark has taken the extra step of adding some incredible Filework to the entire Anodized Titanium Frame as well as matching Filework to the G-10 Backspacer.  

The Integral Thumb Ramp also has Custom Filework which doubles as Traction Ridges.

  The thick Ti clip has also been Anodized.  

The thick Titanium Liner has Filework, Super Smooth action and the blade locks up early and tight! 

Mark includes a Certificate of Authenticity with the Material details and Birth Date.  

This is an excellent value for such a tough hand made yet attractive knife.
