Thread: Screw pins

I have seen razors somewhere with removable pins. I'm thinking of making custom scales and I like the idea of being able to take them apart to clean.
Are there any disadvantages to this approach?
Where can I get them?

Not to be rude about it, but did you bother searching anywhere?

Try searching for micro fastners the metric size of M2 should be about right.

I'm afraid saying "not to be rude" does not excuse the behavior.
Thanks for the link though.

this is more what I'm looking for only in relevant sizes.

So... How do you excuse being too lazy to search for yourself?

Ok before this gets out of hand, the come back was an attempt to inject some humor to diffuse apologies if taken otherwise.
I have searched long and hard to find what I'm looking for and still have not found it even with your link. A search will only be successful if the correct terms are used ie. micro / fastener and not screw / bolt internal treaded bolt / shank nut all used to no avail maybe if you could put the correct name to the item in the picture above I might be more successful in my search.

Gentlemen, further squabbling will not be tolerated and that includes excuses for previous behavior. Apologies to each other are most welcome, though.

this comes close but I would like something with a closed end and long shank so the razor is not pivoting on threads. I guess its hard for me to describe. So far all results are very industrial and not very decorative.

by way of appology what you are looking for is a threaded socket or rivet.

The trouble you will have is getting them small enough (ie. in M2 size). the smallest I have found is about 4.5mm across with an internal thread size of 2mm.

This size would require boring out the hinge hole in the tang and an unsightly large hole in one or most likely both of the scales

My apologies and thanks for the link.

Or these may be of some use also. Found here http://www.knifeandgun.com/catalog/p...ns_1516348.htm
