Two Piece Rivets
Can anybody help as to where I can obtain two piece rivets like those pictured below. They are the sort that hold the scales onto knives. Also, what are they called as that is hampering my efforts at searching on the net?

Any help is appreciated.

Paul I did a search a while back best to check with a local saddle maker to get a supply or leather worker. I was lucky and found a chap at SWWS a few years back.
Some times called solid or tube rivets. semitubular rivets, semi-tub rivets, steel semitubular rivets, aluminum semitubular rivets, brass semitubular rivets, stainless steel semitubular rivets

They are also called Cutlers rivets if you want the nice brass ones for knife handles.

If you want the cheapo ones, those engravers/ key cutters/ show repair people in shopping centre malls have them.

They also used to be used for fixing the shoes into drum brakes, so you might find some in Grand ad's junk box, I don't think anyone outside vintage car enthusiasts use them anymore.

Thank you gents.
It has given me something to work with. Cutler rivets brought up a link to Amazon, but they were brass and I am trying to get stainless. Thanks Wheelin' and Fly in particular for the links.

They could only recommend these people out of the US, who do seem to stock the products:
Jantz Supply - Knife Making - Knife Kits - Knife Steel - Mosaic Pins - Handle Materials - Paracord - Abrasives - Polishing - Sharpening
The Americans seem to be big on knives

Wow! That's the first in ap (tapatalk) website I've seen with products and prices... dangerous. I didn't want knife parts but I almost bought some!
...I'll just make the other bits smaller.
