Got a few older Militaries. I've read that Spyderco screws can be a little soft. Don't know if that's the case... never had one break or mess up on me. However... I've alway been an ounce or prevention is worth a pound of cure type of guy. SO... where might a guy find the best T6 screws for the scales as well as the clip? While I'm at it... might as well do the same for my PM2s, Yojumbo, and Shamans... so advise on where to find these would be greatly appreciated.
 
I went with a complete screw replacement on my Military. I also decided to use button headed hex screws for the deed just for an appearance change.

I purchase almost all my hardware at Albany County Fasteners... https://www.albanycountyfasteners (append a .com after 'fasteners') We are not allowed to direct link to websites on the forum...

Where might a fella find such things?

I got a bunch of 2-56 T8 screws and standoffs from usaknifemaker, cut down the screws to length, a ground down the standoffs to width.
That was a long time ago though. These days, there are sources that make standoffs and screws that are already fitted. I think Ebay or Etsy might have them.
