Ebay for the Antler pieces, fancy brass guards can be purchased from a number if different knife supply stores (texas knife, jantz supply, etc.) I make most of my brass guards from bar stock.
Good Luck!

Stuart.....the guards can be tedious......I use small files to open up the slots a bit at a time until I get the fit tight. On the back, non-show side I leave them a little more open, with some space for the binding material. I typically use some JB Weld to anchor the guard to the blade, doing this independent of anchoring the tang to the handle.
Mitraljez.......sand, sand, sand, and then steel wool........yes, they can/do rust if not cared for. Helps to keep a thin coating of oil on them.

I use laminated plastic. You can purchase sheets of it in various colors/layers. Very stable, and easy to shape.

Thank You DCDUO! You have to heat up the File in order to soften the metal. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to cut or shape it unless you used something even hard than the file itself (Not too likely). After you cut and shape it, you have to heat it back up again to reverse the cycle (this hardens it again.)

L.D.
The Files (untouched) start out at about 6.75 mm thick, and end up around 4.5 mm thick when finishing is complete.
cheers!
