I harden my shorter pieces to a slightly higher degree than my swords (around 57 to 60 RC). They are tempered to a durable flexibility while retaining good edge holding capability.

My gripps are made out of a solid piece of wood with a precisely drilled and burned hole through their centre to allow for a snug fit. The guard and pommel are generally made of bronze or steel but I will use silver upon request for a slightly higher price. The hilt and gripp assembly is precision fit with a threaded or peened tang(depending on historical precedent and the customers wishes) and is further reinforced with epoxy.
