Better to use the ball, work in small circles around the centre of the rivet, and better to have the whole knife joint flat so the thumb press needs to overhang. I blame the cameraman myself.

للأسف كنت على وشك شراء هذه السكاكين لكن تفاجأت عند زيارة موقعهم على الإنترنت أنهم يضعون على مقابض السكاكين صور دعارة ؟!!!!! يا للأسف .... لن أشتري هذه السكين حتى يتم إزالة الصور القذرة في موقعهم .... شكرا

Where do you get the domed rivets from please (UK) and what diameter are they? Thank you

I got these on eBay literally years ago, drop me an email and I'll give you more info 🙂 [e-mail]

Interesting.

[@fadingmargins]

I always thought you used the domed end of the hammer? I ask because I don't know but would like to please.

[@twistedassisted3474]

It all depends what you're trying to achieve, I want to flatten the rivet end and mushroom it slightly, so using the ball pein end wasn't necessary.
