It features 10 Loveless\nFasteners in the material and size specified below with the corresponding\nprecision step drill for installation.Loveless Fasteners were initially\nintroduced by knife making legend, Bob Loveless, and are used for affixing\nknife handles. Loveless Fasteners are a 3-piece design and include (2)\nthreaded heads and (1) threaded screw. With this design, you will create a\nstep hole in each side of your handle material that is slightly larger than\nthe shank of the threaded screw. The three-part assembly allows for you to\npass the threaded screw precisely through your knife tang hole and handle\nmaterial, allowing the larger radius of the Loveless fastener heads to create\npinch points on both sides of the handle material, where it can then be\ntightened down using the screw slot to a secure hold. Once the threaded heads\nhave been tightened, the screw head can be removed and the assembly can be\nsanded to a flush finish with the handle surface. This will result in a very\nattractive final surface that resembles a bull’s-eye. Using different\nmaterials for both screw and heads will further the contrast of the effect.\nWhen used with epoxy and\/or thread-locker adhesive, they will create a\npermanent handle bond.Specifications Loveless Fasteners Head Material = Brass\nHead Diameter = .312 in.

(ea.) | Loveless Fasteners are used to fasten a set of handle scales on to the tang of a knife or tool. They work by passing through the handle tang and handle material layers and creating a pinch effect. Loveless Fasteners feature differential head and threaded rod diameters. This creates the pinch point when used with a stepped pre-drilled hole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eScrew Material = (1) Brass | Thread Diameter = 0.160 in. | Thread = US 8-32 | Length (Under Head) = 1.15 in. | Loveless Fasteners can be sanded off like normal pin stock to create a seamless transition between handle material and fastener. When sanded flush with the handle material, they can create a beautiful visual contrast. Loveless Fasteners can be used with any type of handle material, with or without spacer material layers. They also work well for knife and tool repair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eAll sizes and dimensions = USA Standard | CKK Industries Loveless Fasteners are designed in the U.S.A. and fit American standard cutlery part sizes.
