Wanted - Small Head diameter - Chicago Screws

[Steelart999]

I'm working on a folding knife pouch and would like to locate some Chicago Screws (any design) with a head size of 3/16" (5mm) as part of the assembly.  So far, the smallest head size I can locate is 1/4" (7-8mm). 

Does anyone know of a source for ones that small? 

Are there any other aesthetically pleasing fasteners of that size?  I'd prefer an brass or antiqued brass finish.

Put em in the battery drill . . . run the edge against a rough honing stone . . . they grind down in no time.

Course that's only good if you need just a few. . . . but it works if you do.

Grab a piece of maple or cherry . . . drill your 3/16 hole in it . . . use it to test and see if you have em ground down enough.

May God bless,

Dwight

Got at least one size that's pretty close.

Dwight, I have a small lathe and thought about going down this route, but then most of the shaft diameters were close to the head diameter that I wanted . 

Thanks ChiefJason, they do have a size that I should be able to use just as Dwight noted.

I was being "lazy" and looking for something stock, but that was a bit silly of me considering all the time I put into making knives and now leather "sheaths"
