I'm planning on making a new handle for a knife. I saw the procedure in a wood working mag and can't remember where they sourced the rivets to hold the handle halves together. Anyone have any ideas as to a source?

Thanks
Brian

Check on the internet for what are called "cutler rivets". I've not found a source that would accept an order for less than $25.00. I redid a kitchen knife with copper harness rivets left over from days of yore. If you have a knifemaker in your area you might be able to buy the two or three rivets that you will need for each knife.
