10th Anniversary Edition Bald Eagle Pocket Knife

On June 20, 1782, Congress adopted a design for the Great Seal of the United States. The emblem included a bald eagle grasping olive branches to symbolize peace and arrows to represent strength. It presented a very powerful image and inspired Congress to officially name the bald eagle as our national symbol in 1789. Chosen because of its regal appearance, great strength, long life, and because it's native to North America, the American bald eagle represents more than the United States government - it is recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom and justice. Ten years ago, American Mint introduced a new pocket knife celebrating our national bird: the American Bald Eagle. Since then, the Bald Eagle Pocket Knife has become one of our best-selling and most requested items. To mark the 10th Anniversary of the Bald Eagle pocket knife, American Mint has released an exclusive limited edition of this beautiful knife layered in brilliant 24k gold! Like the original masterpiece, the knife is expertly crafted in 420 stainless steel with a simulated bone handle featuring the image of our national bird with the look and feel of intricate scrimshaw. The 24k gold-layered bolster gleams with finely detailed antiqued filigree and the back of the gold-layered blade is specially engraved with the "Anniversary Edition” seal.
