   pick up a copy of Blade or Knives Illustrated magazine at any large newstand- there's always a number of companies advertising that sort of stuff.  off the top of my head, you might try K & G (?) Supply.  i'll check tomorrow for a few more with phone or addresses.

   Keep them out of the dishwasher. I killed a kitchenaid pump-fan-food-grinder with a loose rivit from a knife. It dropped in and tore up the plastic.

   How's about brass rod dropped thru the shank and handle then swaged (or beat) on an anvil with a ball peen hammer. Sand to finish?

   I have made a couple of knife handles over the years.  I went to the nearest hardware store, bought a 36" piece of 1/8" brass, cut it to size, drilled holes through the handle, beat on it a little bit and still use them years later.  The brass was where the store displays threaded rod, etc.  Cheap too.

   Regards,
