What Size Are These Pins?

[Shepard man]

I'm trying to get all of my ducks in a row before ordering. What size do these pins look to be? Also, what is being used, or could I use, for the lanyard hole? I think the knife is around 7.5-8 inches and I also think that the blade is about 1 inch wide. Hopefully that will provide some scale.

Obviously, this is not my knife. It is from a fairly well known Canadian knife maker though. I'm really enjoying his channel and this blade is what gave me an interest in making something quite similiar.

I'm also in no way affiliated with this knife maker or his youtube channel. If I'm not allowed to post images like this, just let me know and I'll remove it.

Look like at least 1/4" to me but can't say for certain.

Looks like 5/16" stainless corby bolts

Right on, thanks for taking a stab at it. It's tough just eyeballing a photo.

Thank you for the suggestion. What about those makes you think they're Corby bolts?

No other reason for them to be so large on such a small knife if they don't have shoulders.

Oh okay, so just out of practicality. That makes sense. Thanks for the lesson!

That lanyard tube looks like 1/4" and the corbies are bigger then that

Good eye! What else might a lanyard tube be called when I'm trying to find it online?

I feel the pins in the photo you show are too large, but if you want to know, message the dude, Jeremy?
I bet he tells you .

You're definitely right, this was just his interpretation of the classic. They do look large but I just dig that on this one.

I did ask on the comments section of his channel but no luck yet. I'm sure some of those guys are swamped.

I don't really want an exact copy of his either, just to be in the ballpark.

Thank you very much for the links and suggestions.

I asked him on that video's comments but no luck yet. I'm sure he's a busy guy and all so, it's fine if he doesn't respond.

I got a response via instagram

"the lanyard tube is .250" (a little small but all I had on hand) and the pins are .314"
