Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What drive tool do I need to tighten these M3.5 knife handle screws?
A: These screws feature a T8 Torx (plum/star) head, so you will need a T8 Torx driver or a matching T8 bit to install and tighten them securely. A standard slotted screwdriver can also be used in a pinch if the slot width matches.
Q: Which handle materials are compatible with these knife screws?
A: These M3.5 stainless steel screws are designed for any knife handle material that can accommodate a 5 mm through-hole, including G10, Micarta, carbon fiber, stabilized wood, bone, and most synthetic scales commonly used in DIY knife making.
Q: How do I choose the right size from the 24 available options?
A: Measure the total thickness of your knife handle scales (both sides combined). Then select a size whose body length (L) closely matches that measurement. For example, if your combined scale thickness is 10 mm, Size 6 (L = 10 mm) or Size 16 (L = 10 mm) would be an ideal fit depending on your preferred neck diameter (6.8 mm or 7.8 mm).
Q: How many complete screw sets are included in one pack?
A: Each pack contains 10 complete sets. Every set includes the male rivet shank and the matching female lock screw, giving you everything needed for a clean, finished assembly.
