Where to get Silicon Bronze ?

[Bill T]

Hey Guys , I've seen some beautiful knives with Silicon Bronze used in the fittings . Does anyone know where to get any ? In the dimensions we use as knife makers ? In small quanties as well ? Has anyone here used it ? And if so , is there anything we should know about it ? Thanks , Bill
