I’m trying to find replacement barrel bolts to hold the scales on a fixed blade knife.

The dimensions, as best I can measure, are:

Barrel Section: 6mm diameter and 8mm long Screw Thread: 4mm diameter and 6mm long Heads: 8mm diameter and 3mm thick with 2.5mm hex sockets

I have done a fair amount of web searching and I have looked at several of the large online tool and fastener companies. Almost everything I can find has a much thinner barrel and wider head.

Can anyone suggest where I should look for these?

    I have looked under those terms. I’ve also discovered that they are often called sex bolts.

    I will check with a local machine shop. It would probably cost more than it’s worth to have something like that made, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    Thanks for the help!
