I am looking for rivets (I think they are called tap rivets) to repair a set of kitchen knives in my campervan. They are the rivets which hold the knife handles on, and are made from a soft alloy, which is pushed through the handles and then gently tapped with a hammer to fill counter-sunk holes.
The knives are good quality, and the knife block fits perfectly into the campervan cupboards, so I would be reluctant to replace them.
Most hardware stores have been unable to help. Any ideas?
