SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Swan Lake Knives Nickel Silver Puma Head Pommel #8, Model 440021N, is a bold and detailed knife component designed for makers building traditional or custom hidden-tang fixed blades. Crafted in the USA from solid nickel silver alloy, this pommel adds a powerful, animal-inspired focal point to any knife project—combining strength, style, and artistic craftsmanship in one precision part.
This pommel features a finely sculpted puma head, ideal for designs that call for wilderness motifs or bold, symbolic elements. Whether used to emphasize a custom hunting knife or to elevate a collector-grade display piece, the puma motif delivers visual impact with a sense of motion and authority. Its raw nickel silver surface has an aged silver tone and resists corrosion, allowing it to perform in both rugged and refined applications.
With added material left around the edges and base, this component is made for custom shaping. Makers can sand and contour it to match their handle materials precisely, ensuring a flush and seamless transition from grip to pommel. This level of flexibility means the 440021N can accommodate a wide range of design profiles, all without compromising structural strength.
Tailored specifically for hidden-tang knife construction, this pommel is more than just a decorative feature—it serves as a functional, weight-balancing buttcap that helps complete a durable and well-fitted knife. Whether the finished blade is meant for field use, heritage collection, or display, this piece adds authenticity and elegance grounded in traditional knife-making practices.
Made in the USA and built to handle both shaping and use, this pommel embodies quality and tradition. Its wild-cat motif, aged appearance, and custom-fit potential make it a top-tier choice for craftsmen who care about every last detail.
