Torx screws on Utility knife

[rkwalker]

I just completed a full tang utility knife for my son using torx screws, but have a question. What is being used on the nut side of these screws for knife handles? While at fastenal I came across something called a well nut, its a round nut encased in rubber. After removing the rubber I had a round nut which I placed on the handle but it only comes in brass. So I ended up with a round circle of brass with an inner circle of stainless looking much like a bullseye. Don't really like the looks of this much but in searching for pics of knives using torx screws they never seem to show anything except the head side of knife handles. Can someone post suggestions for the nut side or some pics. thx

Go here http://www.mcmaster.com/ on the right hand side go down to fastening and sealing click on standoffs look for female threaded. Or you can drill and tap the tang to the size of your torx screws.

If your handle is thick enough you could use an already drilled and tapped pivot pin. Screw into it from both sides. Good luck.
