Description
Stainless Steel Pin, 1/4" for handle pins (6.35 x 145 mm )
316 Grade Stainless Steel pin for using in knife handles, this is for one pin of length approx 145 mm and with a diameter of 1/4" (6.35 mm).
Using pins is a faster, easier alternative to corby bolts, resulting in the exact same look.
316 is a highly corrosive resistance steel alloy suitable for pins and fittings.
Drill a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hole in the handle block or scales, lightly sand the pin until it can be gently tapped in.
Then glue into handle block or scales when gluing together the knife, and file or grind to shape with the rest of the handle.
The one thing to be be careful of with bolts or pins is to not overheat the metal when shaping the handle, as the epoxy can release.
