Need Rivets

[Peter Firla]

I am making a new wooden handle for a knife and can't find any suitable rivets to fasten the two handle halves to the knife. Anyone know of a supplier? Thanks

Tandy Leather carries leather rivets that might work. They have a website, but I can't remember their address. Try a search engine like ask.com. - CAman

Peter,
If nothing else use brazing rods, and just peen (hammer with a peen side of a ball peen hammer)the pins.
