Achieve a clean, seamless knife handle while maintaining exceptional holding strength with Hidden Bolt Fasteners. Designed for custom knife makers, these precision two-piece threaded fasteners provide a secure mechanical connection that virtually disappears once the handle is finished. They are an excellent choice for makers who want the strength of a threaded fastener without the visible appearance of exposed hardware.
Installation is simple. Drill a stepped hole through the handle scales that is slightly larger than the shank diameter, allowing the threaded post to pass through the knife tang and handle material. As the threaded head is tightened into the post, the oversized heads create a secure pinch point on both sides of the handle, firmly clamping the scales to the tang. Once fully tightened, the fastener heads are designed to be sanded flush with the handle surface, leaving behind a smooth, pin-like appearance that blends seamlessly into the finished handle. For maximum strength and long-term durability, Hidden Bolt Fasteners are recommended for use with epoxy and/or thread-locking adhesive.
Available in multiple materials and package quantities, these fasteners provide the strength, reliability, and clean appearance required for everything from working knives to high-end custom builds. Choose from brass, nickel silver, or stainless steel to complement your knife design and handle materials.
Whether you're building a custom hunting knife, everyday carry blade, or presentation-quality showpiece, Hidden Bolt Fasteners deliver the secure attachment and nearly invisible finished appearance that discerning knife makers appreciate.
