What is the name of the little bolt/post thingies that are used to attach clip plates to kydex sheaths? And where can I buy them? Thanks.

I think they are called Chicago screws but not sure if that is an actual term or just slang. Knifekits.com sells them

Chainring bolts I think? USA Knife Maker, Knife Kits, and Jantz Supply should sell them, just to name a few.

I've always seen them called Chicago screws.

Also could be called Binder Post screws.

Thanks, everyone. Found them. Binder screw posts, aka Chicago screws. Now I just need to find out the size used by Esse to attach their clip plate to the Esse 6.

Binding posts with screws can be found at Home Depot and Lowe's hardware stores. The ones they sell are plain aluminum, come in a variety of lengths, and are for size 8-32 screws. Any 8-32 screw will work with them. I use them often for various projects.

There are many online sources and they come in a variety of screw sizes and materials (metal, plastic).

Thanks, Killgar.
