Question for Sal regarding clip screws

[The Deacon]

Bought a Shabaria and a Native from a fellow forumite, and, since I don't like clips, took the clips off. For the Native, I scrouged up a blued flat washer about the same thickness as the clip and just replaced the clip with it on the original "hollow chicago screw" the Native clip is attached with. The Shabaria is presenting more of a problem. Don't want three screw heads sticking out of the side, so I would now like to fill the three holes with headless set screws. Compared the original screws with some in my collection of model airplane supplies, can't seem to find a match. Was wondering what size/tread they are.

Drop "sc_rebel" an email. I bet he will know what size screws they are.

Leave the Shabaria without screws, it won't impose to the overall performance of the knife.

I know that, I just think it will be more attractive with the holes filled. If I can't get set screws to fit, I will probably just plug them with black RTV silicone.

Hi Deacon. It's a metric thread. You might have to bring one in to a shop to compare.

Thanks for the reply Sal, after doing some checking around locally and on the net, have decided to take the easy way out and go with the RTV silicone.
