Decided I may as well finish off that knife blade I rediscovered recently but am at a loss as to where i might find half a dozen cutlers rivets for the handle.Any ideas?I also have to scrounge up a bit of brass for the hilt/bolster but will just mope around the op shop as they seem to get odd bits and pieces of various things.

Hey Wood dust just the thing, thanks bud.Years ago I would have just used brass rod, but seeing how this is just for a blade i made many years ago and never got around to finishing I guess I will take the easy way out, Thanks again.

Thanks for that Bob, looks like it will be a one stop shop for what I need.
