Hey guys,

I'm trying to find some guard material in Nickel Silver, Ideally .5 x 1 inch bars, 12-24 inch length. Everything I can find out there is 1/4 thick or smaller.

I just bought a large round from ebay and I'll give that a shot. It's like 1.2x1.2 x 5 in for $25. But then I have to take the extra time to forge it into bar-stock before doing what I need to with it, and it's a waste of a beautiful thick round <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

If anyone has any leads, please let me know.

Thanks!
