SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Jantz Brass Corby Type Rivet 1-1/8 inch is a trusted fastening solution for knife makers and craftsmen who demand strength, precision, and a clean finished look. Designed specifically for handle construction, this rivet offers reliable performance and consistent results, making it a staple component in custom knife builds and professional shop work.
Machined from solid brass, this Corby rivet delivers both durability and classic appearance. Brass provides excellent strength while remaining workable, allowing for precise fitting and clean finishing without excessive effort. Jantz precision machines each rivet to exact specifications, ensuring consistent sizing and dependable performance. That level of accuracy means a proper fit every time, reducing frustration during assembly and improving the overall quality of the finished handle.
This Corby rivet measures 1-1/8 inches in length and features a 5/16 inch diameter head, making it well suited for a wide range of handle thicknesses and scale materials. Corby-style construction uses a two-piece design consisting of a male and female section that thread together through the handle material. Once installed, the rivet mechanically locks the handle scales in place, providing superior strength compared to traditional pins or simple rivets.
Each head is slotted for easy installation with a standard screwdriver, allowing controlled tightening during assembly. This design helps draw handle scales together evenly, eliminating gaps and improving structural integrity. Once tightened, the rivet can be ground and finished flush with the handle surface, leaving a clean, professional appearance that complements both traditional and modern knife designs.
The brass finish adds a subtle visual contrast that pairs well with wood, micarta, G10, and other popular handle materials. It also develops a natural patina over time, enhancing the character of the finished knife. Whether you’re building a hard-use field knife or a refined custom piece, this rivet supports both performance and aesthetics.
Ideal for custom knife makers, restorers, and serious hobbyists, the Jantz Brass Corby Type Rivet is built to meet the demands of precision work. When strength, consistency, and professional results matter, this rivet provides a dependable solution that holds up under real-world use and elevates the overall quality of your build.
