I recently made a Bark River STS-3 my all purpose go-to/camp/survival knife.
Thread..
I've removed and reinstalled the handles a dozen times to sand them down and finally have them comfortable. My concern is the handle screws are prone to rust and the barrels inside are brass. The knife is only a few months old and one was rusted quite bad where I had to use a vice grip to unscrew the bolt from the barrel after I had removed it from the knife.

Where can I get titanium or stainless steel bolts and barrels for my Barkie?
 
Try knifekits.com, jantzsupply.com, and Texasknife.com, to name but a few.....

I'm unfamiliar with the screws that are used on the STS, but here's a starting place (Jantz Supply) http://www.knifemaking.com/category_s/75.htm?searching=Y&sort=13&cat=75&show=100&page=1

Better yet, why not call Bark River and see what they say about the problem? It ain;t right, a tactical/survival blade like that, made for scale inter-changing, to have the screws rust. Yep, I'd call them.
 
Wow. Some of those look perfect! I'll take your advice and call BRKT as well. If I don't get results I'll post up here and buy some from your link.
