screws for handles "female screws"

Postby Peter Martin » 11 Jan 2022 6:51

I saw this video on YT... where Lockmasters has replaceable handles. [See link below]
I want to use similar "female" or "Chicago" screws to attach handles, but can't find any with a 1/8" or 3mm diameter post. Everything I have seen or ordered is larger and unuseable.

Has anyone seen anything similar?

Try a knife makers supply site, I think I fond something that would work here but am not 100% sure it is exactly what you are looking for. https://www.knifekits.com/vcom/holster-making-parts-mounting-hardware-c-1074_411.html

Try Googling, or searching Amazon for "Sex Nuts", or "Sex Bolts", or "Rivet Nuts" if M3 is 3mm, did see on Amazon
Good Luck

Try searching for "Chicago Binding Posts" or "Chicago Binding Screws" on Amazon. McMaster doesn't appear to go small enough for this, but Amazon has a lot to choose from down to really tiny.
