Making a long story short, my HEST is my EDC backpack knife. As such, I won't be carrying anything in the handle. Lots of people do, I won't. I am not overly fond of the brass slotted screws that it comes with. Anybody know a source of black torx screws that will work? I am going to like that a lot better for looks as I have two or three other ESEEs with the canvas, black combo...and the HEST will then fit right in.

Any decent internet sources for such things?
 
Ace Hardware had all the exact same hardware that was found in my old RC-3 - I love the fact that RAT / ESEE gives you the ability to user-maintain the handles on their knives.

Most hardware stores will have a pretty good selection of pan-head and torx/allen-head screws.
 
mcmaster carr carries alot of screws and the barrel nuts they go into are called stand-offs. mcmaster also carries those.
 
This weekend, I used my HEST tip to make some holes in a pizza box
and used flat black paint on my screws. Looks better (to me)

but I imagine they'd start showing brass thru eventually.
