Pommels and Guards

[brady.kevin07]

I am looking to start putting pommels and guards on my knives but I am not sure where to buy them does anyone know a trusted place to purchase them or do you guys make your own? If you make your own where do you buy your supplies? I searched the forum for this sbject already and didn't find anything so if I missed it could someone please point me in the right direction?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

I make my own but try Jantz knife supply. They have some pre-made and material to make your own.

Making your own really does make sense. The one time I bought a pre-made guard I modified the heck out of it anyway... had to just to make it fit. I should have simply started from scratch. All you need is a thick piece of brass or steel, a tap-and-die set and some files.
