Company ProfileMark Nevling was born in Boston Massachusetts and was raised on land near that granted to his ancestors for service to the nation during the Revolutionary war. Mark’s teenage years were spent in the Chicago area and he currently resides in the small town of Hume located in down state Illinois. Mark made his first Knife in 1987 and from then on knew that knife making was his passion and has devoted his life to perfecting his trade. Blacksmithing is found in both his mother’s and his father’s family lines and so continues a long family tradition reaching back generations. Full time Knife making has allowed Mark to maintain an important role in his local community as a volunteer fire fighter and certified first responder. Working out of his local shop in Hume allows mark to respond to almost forty medical and fire emergencies a year with the rest of the Hume fire protection district. Mark has been married for 15 years to Affeelea Nevling who is a Registered Nurse and a talented glass bead maker. Mark and Affee have a son and daughter and three lovely grandchildren. Mark is also an apprentice Damascus smith under George Worth who has been an outspoken proponent of cleanliness and quality in Damascus forging for decades.
