Handle fastener source

[DirtyDusty]

i am wanting to make some handles for my knives, with removable scales. I am looking for hardware like what is on my ESEE knives. Anyone know where I can get the screws and standoff’s?

You are looking for either screws and standoffs or chainring bolts. A simple search should provide you with a number of options from both knife supply stores as well as industrial fastener providers.

I would not recommend the chain bolts. They are a bit grabby on the hand IMO. I use them once and never again.

Most of the knife suppliers sell handle fasteners. Jantz, Texas Knife supply, Knifekits.com, USA Knifemakers, etc.

If you want a bunch, check screws and standoffs at McMaster Carr. I have a good supply of SS allen head screws and standoffs. I've used them on removable scales, as well as my first friction folder. I've carried and used it every day for about a year. Solid as a rock.
