What kind of rivets are in the Schrade Sharpfinger?

Post by knifemaker3 »

I have one to rehandle and haven't messed with them at all. Anyone know what kind of rivets are in the sharpfinger?

Can I cut them with a razor blade?

Thanks. This rehandling factory knives is kinda fun. I've always just made them from scratch, but am liking this rehandling stuff pretty good ::tounge::

Thanks!
God Bless!

Craig,
They are a bit too thick to cut with a razor blade.
I usually drill them out.
They are actually a pain to remove.

The rivets are standard cutlery rivets, like you can get at Jantz, TKMS, K & G or anywhere else.
They are a bit smaller than the ones you get now, but I just drill a larger countersink hole and they work fine.

Give me a call if you have any questions.
