Customised Victorinox Swiss Army Knives With Gemstone Scales

Customized Swiss Army Knives Complete with Stone Scales

It has been a long time coming, mainly because of my lack of organisational skills, but I have finally made available my first release of Customised Victorinox Swiss Army Knives complete with gemstone scales! You might remember my post from a while ago relating to the Swiss Army Knife that I put together for my Dad for Christmas late last year, in that I hinted that I might be making some available through our store in the future.

Customized Swiss Army Knives Complete with Stone Scales

Well I am excited to announce that I have finally been able to finish the first release of these customized knives, all be it only 3 pieces at this point! All 3 knives are the Victorinox Classic SD model and are in an 'As-New' used condition. Each piece is completed with handcrafted stone scales created by Jaka Gems. The material for each knife has been painstakingly selected taking care to avoid any cracks, pitting or other nasties so that each knife is a beautiful but functional piece. These 3 pieces will hopefully be the first of many to come!




Customized Swiss Army Knife with Greenstone Scales

This first piece (pictured above) has been finished with Greenstone originating from New South Wales (Australia). The material is a beautiful deep green with yellowing bands running diagonally across the scales. The finish is of a high shine and a magnificent example of this particular material. This piece is available for $70 through our store.

Customized Swiss Army Knife with Nundoorite Scales

Secondly, pictured above is a piece that has been finished with Nundoorite. Nundoorite is a material which originates from near Broken Hill in New South Wales, although Nundoorite is not a 'recognised' mineral name. The material is and Orthoclase Syenite with flecks of green Aegurine floating through. The material has finished with an excellent polish and has created an aesthetically pleasing pocket knife which will please even the serious collector! This piece is available through our store for $75



Customized Swiss Army Knife with Moss Agate Scales

Finally we have a knife finished with beautiful Moss Agate. I consider this piece to be the 'flagship' of this initial release - The Moss Agate is a beautiful white to translucent chalcedony with magnificent moss like inclusions of hornblende and chlorite. As is the case with most Agates/chalcedony's, the final polish on this piece is magnificent. This piece is available through our store for $80

If you would like to know more about these knives, feel free to contact me via our email address at jakagems@hotmail.com - you are also more than welcome to contact me to discuss customized knives should you want a particular stone. I am happy to discuss creating a piece similar to the above using a material of your choice.

Until next time!
