I have a performance 440 S&W folding knife. Some of the Allen screws have fallen out that holds the frame together. Anyone know where I can find replacements?

Your best bet would probably be contacting s&w to see if they offer replacement screws.

You could take one of each size, if more than one, to Lowes or Home Depot and match the thread and size, then just buy enough new Allen screws that are the correct size and thread pitch that will look good in your knife and just replace them all.
It's entirely possible they are specialty screws and cannot be found at Lowes or HD.

It's likely they are metric. Are they Torx head? Torx seem to be the most popular in that genre of knives.

Thanks guys. I tried to contact S&W and learned they are made by Taylor Cutlery. Looks like they are a Japanese company and I hit a dead end.
I’ll try to match them at a hardware store.
