When I first started forging my blades I didn't consider forging my handle fittings from stainless but it has opened many new options with my handles. Here's my latest:

The guard is forged from 1/4" 416. The pommel from two pieces of 1/8" with some brass fitted down the center.

I dig it, nearly 3 years after posting.  Love the way you textured the pommel.
