Title: Brass-domed split pins.
Post by: Skeeter Lewis on September 03, 2021, 03:01:02 PM

Hey, pards, any ideas where I can get the above? In 6mm or 9/10mm?
It's the ones with 'legs' you part and hammer flat.

Pard,

The usual name in the shoe industry (way back when I worked in a 6000 pair a day factory) is "split rivets", try internet searches with that term instead.  Duckduckgo is what I use to screen out the paid top results.

Here's one I found with just that browser search

Just curious, how or where will you use them?

Thanks for that, OD. Good info.
Captain, it's to decorate a knife sheath.

Try your local hardware store. I’ve gotten them there before.
