Maybe you'll want the 2.5 pin for future projects, either way. So why not now?
For thin, around two layer, knives I have been able to get away with using brass nails. They are more likely to be found locally in hardware stores and should be labelled for size. Edit: Just make sure they are actually brass and not just made to look like brass.
2.2mm brass brads or finish nails seem common in Europe. Not so much in the states.
That's too bad, I'm obviously used to my local conditions and it's easy to forget that some things are surprisingly different.
There is a seller on EBay.com that sells pre-cut brass pins and collars. Based in Germany, but posts to the USA.If interested search for 2,25mm brass rivets or 2,5mm brass rivets.NOTE: use a COMMA as the decimal separator instead of a stop. Comma is normal in Europe excluding the U.K.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Wow. Excellent advice. That’s what I get for thinking like an American!
And torch not flashlight, spanner not wrench...
It’s a US site, so to hit customers in the US I reckon the seller should use a STOP as the decimal separator.Now tell me, when are you Americans going to get date format right? It’s day, month then year! And, it’s crisps not chips, fries are chips..(only kidding)Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I worked for a company that was held by Kiwis, so I worked with a lot of Aussies and Kiwis during that time. So I was used to seeing the comma separators back then. Hardly think of it now and would have helped me find the right brass rod long ago!
That’s interesting. As a Kiwi, AO/NZ and Aus use points as separators, as in 2.5 mm. :dunno:I’ve never seen a comma separator used here. What business was the company in?
I found one seller on EBay U.K. who sold 2.2mm brass rod in about 1ft lengths. From memory they were just over £1 each. I bought a couple. Postage was about £4 though.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
