Designed for knife makers who demand precision, style, and rugged performance, the Swan Lake Knives Nickel Silver Horseshoe Pommel and Guard Set (Model 500297N) offers a clean, traditional look built for hidden-tang fixed blade projects. This two-piece set combines reliable function with vintage-inspired form, adding both structure and polish to custom knives.
Crafted from solid nickel silver—a corrosion-resistant alloy of copper, zinc, and nickel—this set delivers the strength needed for demanding builds while offering a bright, silvery-white finish that can be polished to a high shine or allowed to develop a natural patina over time. Whether you're building a classic hunting knife, collector's piece, or utility tool, the subtle elegance of nickel silver blends seamlessly with wood, bone, or synthetic handle materials.
The pommel's primary purpose is to secure the handle and keep the tang firmly in place, preventing the blade from shifting during use. Cast in a clean, horseshoe-shaped form, it provides a smooth, balanced finish to the knife's rear profile while serving as a mechanical anchor. The guard, likewise, protects the hand and enhances the knife’s silhouette with understated refinement.
Both the pommel and guard come in a raw casting state, including extra material around the base and edges. This allows for precision sanding and fitting to match the specific contours of your knife handle. Whether you're working with stabilized hardwoods, antler, or stacked leather, the raw finish ensures full customization without compromising fit or durability.
Designed with craftsmanship in mind, this set is ideal for traditional or modern hidden-tang knives where quality materials and elegant details matter. It suits both field-grade tools and display-worthy creations, elevating the final product with structural reliability and timeless appeal.
Proudly made in the USA, this component set reflects Swan Lake Knives’ commitment to durable materials and detailed craftsmanship. Customize your very own knife at SMKW!
