Does anyone know of a source for small black eyelets besides knifekits.com that don't require you buy 10000 of them? I bought some from texasknife.com on the assumption that were black all over,
(the picture shows all black ones and the description makes no mention of this) but they were brass eyelets painted black on one side only?! (as in when installed one side would look gold, one black)...

I might just have to give up and go through knifekits

I'm looking for ones to be used with .060 kydex..

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

(Also I'm wondering why I can't use the search feature if someone could enlighten me. Hopefully I'm not missing something obvious...I could find no mention of restrictions in the FAQ)
 
Only paying members can use search due to server load.

As for the eyelets, search Ebay for "Long shank eyelets" I think the seller is "Fair Lady" and the brand is "American Tag". They are the perfect length for .060, but too short for anything thicker. They have black as well as a couple other finishes in a couple different sizes and are cheaper than CKK. They are compatible with CKK dies and hand setters. The longer Tandy eyelets are long enough too but are wide and only work with the Tandy setters.
