SHOP CASE KNIVESCrafted for makers who appreciate both form and function, the Swan Lake Knives Nickel Silver Pommel #22 Celtic brings timeless design to modern knife builds. This solid component is proudly made in the USA and cast from high-grade nickel silver—a durable copper, zinc, and nickel alloy known for its corrosion resistance and antique-style luster. It's built to endure, yet refined enough to finish your project with elegance.
The defining feature of the #22 pommel is its intricate Celtic knotwork, deeply cast into the metal and styled in the tradition of ancient European design. Interwoven loops and symbolic motifs such as triquetras create a visual rhythm that evokes heritage craftsmanship. Whether you're crafting a period-inspired dagger or giving new life to an heirloom handle, this decorative detail adds authenticity and weight.
Engineered for hidden-tang construction, the pommel is compatible with a wide range of blade styles. Its internal cavity allows for custom fitting to your tang, and it can be pinned or epoxied in place as part of a permanent, balanced build. The pommel’s solid loop extension at the base offers more than just aesthetics—it doubles as an anchor point for lanyards, tassels, or presentation cords.
The finish is intentionally left raw from the casting process, giving you the freedom to sand, polish, or antique it further depending on the visual tone of your project. Whether you're restoring a classic blade or assembling a custom piece from scratch, this component provides both structure and story. The nickel silver patinas beautifully with age and use, gradually developing the warm glow of a well-traveled tool.
With its sculptural depth and historical influence, this pommel doesn’t just complete a knife—it elevates it. Ideal for craftspeople, collectors, reenactors, and anyone who appreciates the tactile strength of forged tradition, the Swan Lake Knives Nickel Silver Pommel #22 Celtic is as functional as it is meaningful.
