Tools and parts for repairs?

[WolfSpring]

I have been doing a lot of fixing knives lately and I was wondering does anyone know a good place to get parts, mainly screws, what sizes to order, specific tools? I destroyed a few bits already and I'm looking at a "nut" with four nicks in it, think I need something like a spanner wrench for it. I'm basically building a small toolkit and the screws I've got are from trashed knives that I salvaged, was hoping to find a box with a bunch of different ones but no luck so far. Need to do some research and measuring. Most of what I'm repairing many different knives for others, or eBay lots everything from ChinaMart to Kershaw to Benchmade. Thinking a benchmade tool will cover down on most of what I need. I've got some bits and allen wrenches right now but they are cheap and breaking. I was looking at the knife building sites but it is mostly for traditional knife parts I am doing more modern/tactical repairs right now and I'm finding missing screws on scales or clips, broken springs, worn spacers. A lot of it looks like trial and error from what I'm gauging but if someone has a good site I'm all ears.

Thanks.

Do a search for "knifemakers' supplies."

Thank you bill. I've found, and used Jantz, knife kits and texasknife and see the individual stuff. Going to order a chart and a couple tools, was hoping for a general kit with some of the common sizes and parts but as I search I see there are 100s of parts and building a kit wouldn't be so easy as everyone uses different size and types. I also found CRKT sells parts for there knives so that is a great thing as well, Kershaw does not from their website you have to send in any repairs. Once I get the card and get some measurements I'll know a little more of what to order. Thanks again.
