Title: Where can I find fancy scale pins?
Post by: Matabele on June 28, 2010, 11:47:00 AM

Hi all,

Been looking into making my own knives and was wondering where I might be able to find those more ornate handle pins I've seen on some of the knives in this forum?

Any pointers appreciated, thanks!

Mosaic pins can be bought from most knife supply companies or you can make them yourself.

Just look up Jantz Supply, Alpha Knife Supply, Texas knife supply. They are pretty expensive depending on size.

All those companies are good. I'd add Sheffield Knife Supply in Orange City FL. You have to order by phone but they are the best.

I've been making my own. Go to northcoastknives.com on the tutorials page 4. You can get the tubing at most hobby stores.
