Product Information

Tightening rivets is a simple process, but it’s essential to ensure they’re tight enough. If they’re too loose, the blade will be able to move around and potentially come loose. On the other hand, if they’re too tight, you run the risk of breaking the blade or the handle. Non visible tang :this type of tang consists of a simple steel stem without any holes, thus the handle cannot be assembled with rivets. The handle of a kitchen knife serves for much more than just holding the knife. The handle also plays an important role in providing the knife the optimal balance and equilibrium. In addition, we cannot ignore the aesthetic factor : great part of the beauty of a knife depends on the design and look of its handle.

Assembling with rivets : this type of assembling is very similar to the one mentioned just above in the fact that both are fixed with 3 crossing rivets. However, in this method the blade is inserted in a previously moulded synthetic handle. When using a washer, make sure that it’s the same size as the rivet head so that it doesn’t slip off. Such riveted structures may be insufficient to resist seismic loading from earthquakes if the structure was not engineered for such forces, a common problem of older steel bridges. This is because a hot rivet cannot be properly heat treated to add strength and hardness. In the seismic retrofit of such structures, it is common practice to remove critical rivets with an oxygen torch, precision ream the hole, then insert a machined and heat-treated bolt.

RIVETS & BOLTS

There are several types of rivets, designed to meet different cost, accessibility, and strength requirements:

Use the rivet setter to push down on top of the rivet to crimp it into place. If you follow these simple steps, you will be able to repair or replace rivets on your knife in no time! The final step is to use a hammer to flatten the rivets. Start by holding the knife blade in one hand and striking the head of the rivet with the hammer. Once the rivet is flat on one side, flip the blade over and repeat the process on the other side.

Almost all rivet guns that you find will be made out of metal, but there are different metals that are used depending on your budget and the type of rivet gun that you want. Some will be made from aluminium which is a super light metal but also strong enough to handle most jobs. But if you are wanting the strongest of rivet guns then opt for one made from steel – these will be more expensive but are going to be able to withstand anything that you are wanting to throw at them. The setting of these fasteners requires access to both sides of a structure. Solid rivets are driven using a hydraulically, pneumatically, or electromagnetically actuated squeezing tool or even a handheld hammer. Applications where only one side is accessible require "blind" rivets. You thought we forgot about it? Impossible! When talking about the anatomy of a knife, the blade is certainly its most important part, especially when talking about Sabatier knives, which are known for having blades of truly exceptional quality. However, even if all Sabatier knives have great cutting performance, it is undeniable that some are stronger and more solid than others, and that is explained by the construction of the blade. Indeed, the blade of a knife can be formed in the following ways (have in mind that the construction of the blades has big influence on the price of a knife) : Smith, Carroll (1990).

Inch Fastener Standards (7thed.). Industrial Fasteners Institute: Industrial Fasteners Institute.

The main official standards relate more to technical parameters such as ultimate tensile strength and surface finishing than physical length and diameter. They are: If you don’t have anyone to help you, you can try clamping the blade in a vise or using a C-clamp to hold it in place. Once the blade is in place, please take one of the new rivets and insert it into the hole. Make sure that the head of the rivet is on the same side as the handle of the knife. If it isn’t, flip the knife over and try again. Step 6: Use A Hammer To Drive The Rivet Through The BladeIf the blade is not centered when you look down at the knife, it is most likely that the rivets are loose.
