Thanks for the info. I have several Ace stores to go to. I’ll pick up the brazing rods and a few brass nails. What are the different sizes that I will need for general knife repair. Thanks again.
Honey do you have your pocket knife ? Do I have my pants on?

It is rare I use any brass pins larger than 3/32", unless I am changing the blade in a Buck 110 or a Schrade LB7.
My Ace has packages of brass rod that is .081" which is a common size for rocker pins.

I use coat hangers and nails quite often.
I have no trouble peening them.
