• Use these Corby style bolts to connect handles to a knife tang. For a full tang knife:
• You drill a hole in the tang the size of the shaft. Then you drill holes part way through the handle material the diameter of the shoulder.
• For a hidden tang knife:
• Dry mount your handle to the hidden tang so it doesn't move. Drill a hole through both handle and tang in one pass. Then drill the handle material partially to depth the diameter of the shoulder.
• Screw the two parts together fastening the scales to the tang. The ends of the bolts are slotted so you can use a screw driver on both ends to tighten the bolt. When you have it tight, you grind off the excess bolt material leaving a nice pin showing. You can also grind the shaft and/or threads to shorten them up. The shoulder and shaft are almost certainly longer than the thickest handle/tang combination.
• We have these custom made exclusively for us. 

NOTE: These are sold in single bolts. You will probably need to order 2 of these for a typical knife handle. The picture shows the 4 sizes we have in both Brass and 303 Stainless for reference. You are ordering one each as shown above.
