CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESSwan Lake Knives Nickel Silver Classic Style Pommel #277 (Model 500277N) is a reliable and refined component made for hidden-tang fixed blade knife builds. Designed with traditional craftsmanship in mind, this pommel serves both structural and aesthetic purposes—securing the handle, balancing the blade, and elevating the knife’s overall presentation.
Precision-cast in solid nickel silver, the pommel brings a clean, timeless style that pairs beautifully with a wide range of handle materials, including hardwood, antler, and micarta. Its alloy blend—comprising copper, zinc, and nickel—delivers durability and long-term resistance to corrosion, all while maintaining a classic silvery-white tone. The surface can be polished to a mirror finish or left to develop a soft, natural patina over time, depending on the builder’s vision.
This part comes in a raw casting state, with additional material around the perimeter and base to allow for custom sanding and shaping. That extra margin gives knife makers full control to ensure a precise fit against handle scales and contours, which is especially valuable for bespoke builds requiring fine adjustment. The robust yet workable composition of nickel silver offers the ideal balance between machinability and strength, making it suitable for both seasoned bladesmiths and dedicated hobbyists.
The classic styling of Pommel #277 makes it well-suited for traditional knives, heritage replicas, or any fixed blade project demanding a touch of understated elegance. It works particularly well on hunting knives, bowies, and custom field blades where a clean silhouette and practical performance go hand in hand.
Whether you're completing a one-of-a-kind showpiece or assembling a durable backwoods tool, this nickel silver pommel delivers function, flexibility, and an ageless look that holds up through generations of use. Check out this Pommel and so many more and build your very own customized knife at SMKW!
