Pommel options
Another quick word about handle material. I always recommend man made materials such as Micarta, G10, Resin etc, but I do offer stabilized woods also. Check out the Gallery section of the site to see the many handle material styles available. Also, see the "Warranty and general information" page above for more info.
Pommel plates and Bolt pommels
Aluminum pommel plate example
Steel bolt pommel on a full tang knife
Pommel plates are available in: Aluminum, brass, copper, micarta and g10. Yes, micarta and G10 are plenty tough enough to be hit with a wooden baton, have no fear. I have tested them thoroughly.
Pommel bolts are available in: Aluminum and brass
Pommels are available on many but not all models. Just ask me when you order if you're unsure.
Pommel plates and bolts are not available on full tang knives that have guards. They are available on hidden tang knives with a guard however.
A pommel plate is standard on the M4 Green river, the M13 Timberjack and the M23 Alpha.
Base price for a full tang knife with a pommel plate $750.00
Base price for a full tang knife with a pommel bolt $8000.00
