[Frank Eaton]

Does anyone know where you can get those Torx screws that screw into each other for assembled handles?

Hmmm, the above link looked like it might be a promising new supplier but you can't order off the site or even look at the products.
I havent seen the fastener you described at any of the usual suppliers, I have used threaded pivot pins (1/8 or 3/16) before but other than the only thing i know of are the grind off fasteners. You might look up R.B. Johnson and ask him if he knows anything about them.

I see them on alot of the manufactured knives like TOPS and such so I am sure they exist, I 'll keep looking.

I spent most of yesterday evening looking for a similar product and all I found were what was on the knife sites already listed. I was trying to find some threaded standoffs to use with the Torx screws and I couldnt find any that I could buy unless I wanted to purchase 1000 of them. I think its crazy that some of the knife sites charge $2.50-$4.50 for a single pivot. There has got to be an affordable place to purchase hardware somewhere out there. By the way does anyone know where I can get some threaded standoffs?
