What sort of rivets are those that I see on basic old store bought kitchen knives like "Old Hickory" brand?
Are they a two piece deal that you have to make a little countersink for? I'd like to make some nice simple kitchen knives for family for Christmas from some 5160 I have. Thanks for any help or ideas.

In addition to the home made ones we make, More advanced designs like Loveless, Corby, Cutlery there are many forms,. and the application may seem the same, but they do have different intentions, as well as ways of installing them

With the standard two piece cutlery rivets,how much overlap do I need to allow for? In other words-how far does the one side need to go into the other for a strong joint? thanks, Eric

For you experts who use plain rod for rivets: Do you countersink a spot in the wood for the rod(rivet) to expand or does it just make its own spot? I asked this somewhere else on here but can't seem to find it... Old age I guess. Or maybe I've always been absent minded...
