Help Needed Finding Specialty Pins

Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of refurbishing my grandfather's old knife. The original sheath is beyond hope, so I want to make a replica.

It has pins that push through with fold over tabs or ears on the backside.

Those look like some sort of furniture tack. Or maybe just 'spots'. If you're looking to exactly reproduce the sheath, then sure, go ahead and use them, but they aren't what *should* be used there. There are better choices if you want to reinforce the sheath.

I know it won't be 100% exact, but if I can find them that will be one step closer.

Thanks for the tips, off to the great Google I go a hunting.

That looks like a split rivet but instead of spreading them, the ends are pulled towards each other and crossed over.
