The Bolts are 8mm x 1.25 x
16mm long (the threaded area)
I did a google image search for : 8mm 1.25 flat head screws
There is allen head, Torx and phillips head bolts/screws of the same design. Different finishes and they also have A2 stainless steel. If I remember correctly some knife makers use A2 stainless and it can be hardened or otherwise heat treated.
I am wondering if the Torx head ones would be the best way to go as far as removing the later on.
16mm long means the threaded area. I mention that because for some reason at the local industrial hardware they seemed to be using the overall length.
I bought 4 flat head allen head bolts for 80 cents each ant the threaded area was 15mm but on the label on the bin it said 20mm? which I am guessing represents the total length of the screw/bolt. Black phosphate and the allen head socket in the screw/bolt was slightly deeper.
I am going to make sure never-seize gets under the head as well as the threads hoping it will make it easier to get them out the next time.
They also had A2 stainless ones at $1.25 each.
