Mosaic Pin, 2 Inch (50mm), 8mm Diameter, Brass and Copper Construction
Add a decorative and structural element to your custom handle projects with this 8 mm mosaic pin. Measuring 50 mm (2 inches) in length, this pin is constructed from a combination of brass and copper elements, creating a distinct pattern that becomes visible when cut and polished.
Unlike standard pins or rivets, a mosaic pin serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose, securing the scales to the tang while adding a unique visual detail. The pin can be worked with standard metalworking tools and polished to a high lustre, integrating seamlessly with your chosen handle material.
Ideal for custom knife making, restoring tool handles, or creating decorative inlays in woodworking projects.
Before you order
Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.
Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.
Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.
Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
