These are traditional cutlers rivets. To use them, pound the male solid shank side into the female tube side and they will hold tight. Really tight. This style handle fastener is still widely used today after a hundred or more years because it works so well. Its quick, easy and holds fast. Your commercial kitchen knives almost certainly use some form of cutlers rivets. This Cutlers rivet will fit a knife handle stack (2 scales and tang) that is .48 thick up to .75 thick when countersunk. This is going to cover smaller, thinner knife handles in your kitchen and thinner handle knives like bushcraft, fillet, neck knives, etc. Tip: You can counter sink the heads or leave them proud. It has been done both ways historically but certainly countersunk is more widely used. To countersink the heads, trial and error drilling into your handle material until the head is flush or even below the surface and sand down the handle material flush to the head. The countersink hole bottom does not have to be flat. If you want a flat bottomed hole, grind the tip of a drill bit flat. It will cut enough to get the job done. You are only countersinking this .045 Tip: Try not to undersize the hole in wood or other natural material. When you pound these together the shank is going to expand putting pressure on the wood and over time the wood is going to crack from humidity changes. Wood always loses. G10, Micarta or other high pressure laminate or phenolic dont change size so much and are quite a bit tougher so this is less of a concern. Better to have the shank hole a little oversize than undersized. Its OK to use epoxy with these to seal the scale but it isnt required.
