Corby Bolt Fasteners (10 Pack) with Step Drill for DIY Handles & Knife Handle Repair - USA Size (0.250 x 0.186 x 1.0 Inch) - (Brass) - for Full Tang Fixed Blades

This is a Corby Bolt Fastener & step drill combo kit. It features 10 Corby Bolt Fasteners in the material and size specified below with the corresponding precision step drill for installation.Corby Bolts are used for knife handle fasteners. With this design, you will create a step hole in your handle material that is slightly larger than the shank of the fastener. The two-part assembly allows for you to pass the shank precisely through your knife tang hole and handle material, allowing the larger radius of the Corby Bolt heads to create a pinch point on both sides of the handle material where it can then be tightened down to a secure hold. Once the bolt has been tightened, it can be sanded to a flush finish with the handle surface. This will result in a smooth, pin-like visual effect on the final knife handle. When used with epoxy and/or thread-locker adhesive, they will create a permanent handle bond.Specifications Corby Bolt Fastener Head Diameter = .250 in. (ea.) Head Length = .300 in. (ea.)

• (10) Corby Bolt Fasteners USA Size (0.250 x 0.186 x 1.0 Inch) with (1) Step Drill (0.250 x 0.186 Inch) | CKK Industries designed Corby Bolts are used for all types of knife and tool handle construction. You’ll see them in use on steak knives, chef knives, butcher knives, traditional hunting knives, and many others. They work very well for cutlery repair and new handle creation.
• Head Diameter = 0.250 in. (ea.) | Head Length = 0.300 in. (ea.) | Corby Bolts are used to fasten a set of handle scales on to the tang of a knife or tool. They work by passing through the handle tang and handle material layers and creating a “pinch” effect. Corby Bolts feature differential head and shaft diameters. The head of each side of the Corby Bolt assembly is slightly larger than the shaft diameter. This creates the “pinch point” when used with a “stepped” pre-drilled hole.
• Shank Diameter = 0.187 in. | Shank Length = 0.350 in. | Corby Bolts can be sanded off like normal pin stock to create a seamless transition between handle material and fastener. When sanded correctly, they will be indistinguishable from regular pins. Corby Bolts can be used with any type of handle material, with or without liner material layers. They are truly versatile handle fasteners. They also work well for knife and tool repair.
• Overall Length (min.) = (1.0 in.) | Overall Length (max) = (1.2 in.) | CKK Industries Corby Bolts are designed in the U.S.A. and fit American standard cutlery part sizes.

• Thread = US 6-40 | Driver = Slot | Material = Brass | Our U.S.A. designed Corby Bolts are offered in three standard materials.
