This post is about an issue I faced in Knockout to bind svg <image> and it was not showing the image inside the svg, even with correct binding with xlink:href
My first attempt was,
If you notice that, Image is not showing in the svg box.
Reason: Because xlink:href attribute needs to be there even with empty value to initialize the HTML svg image.
So, your image tag should be like this
<image height="500" id="img1"...
