Recommendation? Guard bolster and pommel

[docknives]

Hi everyone

Im having an issue on material sourcing for a project and need some help.

Working on a hidden tang knife that needs a stainless/nickle/any other bright guard and pommel, but I can't figure out where to get the material from.

Has anyone here custom made these parts? If so, where did you source the materials?

There are quite a few suppliers. Google knifemakers supply and you get results that start with T, J, and P.
Most have nickel silver, and 416ss.

Even online metals has round rods of 416ss. I got a foot each of 0.75", 1.0", 1.25", and 1.5". Sometimes I'll hack off a chunk and grind it into whatever shape I need.
