Swan Lake Knives Bronze Puma Head Pommel #8 Model 440021B 440021B

The Swan Lake Knives Bronze Puma Head Pommel #8, Model 440021B, is a bold, American-made component built for hidden-tang fixed blade projects. Designed with both form and function in mind, this pommel delivers rugged style and structural purpose to any custom knife build. With its aggressive lines and animal-inspired detail, it adds a distinct sense of character to the final product—ideal for makers who want more than just a plain buttcap.

At the heart of the design is a fully sculpted puma head, cast in bronze for a timeless, battle-worn appearance. The puma’s muscular form and expressive detailing convey strength and motion, making it a strong choice for blades themed around the wilderness, big game, or heritage hunting knives. Its aged bronze finish adds classic contrast to wood, bone, or stacked leather handle materials, and it weathers beautifully with use.

The 440021B pommel comes in a raw finish, with additional material left at the base and edges to allow for custom shaping. Makers can sand and fit the pommel to the handle’s unique contour, ensuring a tight, flush fit. This extra material supports a more refined end product without compromising on strength or stability. Once fitted, the pommel not only enhances the knife’s profile but helps with balance and weight distribution.

This part is best suited for hidden-tang knives and can be used in a variety of blade styles—whether you're crafting a rugged outdoor tool or a collector’s showpiece. The bronze alloy provides corrosion resistance and durability, while also offering visual warmth that evolves over time with a natural patina. Every piece is proudly made in the USA and reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Swan Lake Knives is known for.

The Bronze Puma Head Pommel #8 is the finishing detail that turns a well-made knife into a true work of art—distinctive, durable, and built for custom work. Customize your very own knife with this Bronze Puma Head Pommel at SMKW!
