What are those rivets?

[mannysdad]

I have a leather belt loop for my tomahawk that is held together by four unknown type of rivets. Can someone please advise what type and possibly size the rivets are? I will try to attach a pic...well I guess I can't so I'll describe the rivet as best I can...the heads on both sides are perfectly flat and 3/8" in dia. They go through three pieces of leather totaling 3/8" in thickness. The maker used four of these totally. Thank you, MD

Probably copper rivets and burrs.

Looks like they may be called Nail head rivets

Not an easy answer without a picture. Rivets come in different types. If you cannot get a picture up, I suggest you find an online supplier (eg Tandy) and compare their products to what you have. Sorry

If flat on both 'faces', I suspect they work much like a sexbolt excepting the sections are simply forced together.
Old Hickory knives have similar rivet what hold on their wooden scales.
