What do you call those?

Aren't the smooth ones just corby bolts?

yeah but my description sounds better

Naaaah, I like the hollow ones. I'm not the type of goof to go tying my knife to a stick, but hollow pins at least give you options for attachment!

I think it would be nice to see Busse switch to a solid pin, attached the same way as the tube fasteners.
It's probably a tall order, maybe not even possible, but after reading about the occasional handle developing some wiggle after batoning. I have to wonder if solid pins wouldn't take impacts a little better.
And yes, these would me the most overbuilt handle fasteners I've ever seen.

I call them Ziglets, but then I'm nuts...

J, you may be nutz, BUT at least you have your flying sidekick

Thanks to everyone who respond.

I'm not sure I'm following you here - the tube fasteners are attached by flaring them in a die. How are you going to flare a solid pin? Am I missing something obvious?

I was told by Garth in Easton, where the smooth bolts were reintroduced, that the Easton bolts were hand peened nickel pins.

Funny thing: around these parts 1 is called a 'bus', 2 or more 'bussen'; English translation: busses!!

Thanks,
