The present model stands out from the others due to its innovative Knight design. All pieces are really particular, but let us mention the most distinctive ones which are in this case a knight and a king.
American Knight Staunton double weighted chess pieces set only. All chess pieces are Weighted by adding a stud of iron within the base. Each of Chessmen has green felt to prevent the damage of the chessboard surface. This interesting model of Staunton chess pieces was surprisingly made in India(Amritsar) not America. It is worth underlining the particular color of pieces which they owe to a specific wood. The chess pieces have been carved very precisely. The care about details strikes at first glance.
