A digging tool becomes a blade

With the FOSSOR MK1, TACWRK, in collaboration with BLADE CREATE and Fuchsbauschmiede, is once again launching a very special knife this year. Crafted from used Bundeswehr folding shovels, the FOSSOR MK1 carries not only steel but also history within it.

The blade consists of 160 layers of wild Damascus steel made from tungsten steel, nickel steel, and material from former Bundeswehr folding spades. With a blade length of 9.5 centimeters, screw-on G10 scales in olive or coyote brown, a Kydex sheath, and a deliberately non-stainless steel construction, the knife remains compact, functional, and true to its origins.

Limited drop with a special origin

The promotion starts on June 11, 2026, in the TACWRK online shop and runs until June 14, 2026. The presale is available exclusively to TACWRK newsletter subscribers. Customers must sign up for the TACWRK newsletter in advance to purchase the FOSSOR MK1.

The launch will be accompanied on Instagram and Facebook with Stories, posts, and Reels about the FOSSOR MK1, the knife’s development, and the collaboration with Blade Create and Fuchsbauschmiede.

The first 250 customers will also receive a patch with a material pass design to go with the knife.
