HondoWalker Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I ran out of them and need to buy more. Unfortunately all I can find are coby bolts and they are priced ridiculous. I need a bag of like 50 brass rivets for less than $20. I bought 25 sets a few years ago and they're all gone. Epoxy/glue won't hold my scales on so rivets are a must. I've tried to glue/epoxy on 5 knives so far and every time they pop loose when I'm filing them down. Rivets hold them on. Any ideas? Quote
Daswulf Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Brass rod, or whatever material rod you are using. Cut and make your own? Quote
rhitee93 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I like to use cutler's rivets for some knives. The price varies by size, but is right around your price point. Various knife making suppliers have them. Quote
Rhyfelwr Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I use brass rod, or #6 copper ground wire..The copper makes an excellent handle rivet, it upsets easily and files and grinds well. And its strong enough for almost any handle, if it is counter-sunk properly and snug. Once you are done peening the head out, you can file or grind it flush. Quote
bikecopXXX Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Stainless or copper tubing for hollow rivets. Need a flare tool. Quote
