Wedge rivets. I have grown a strong hatred for maille with dome rivets thats made in india.... So i'm switching all my maille slowly.

Duke Icefalcon should be good for one.

IceFalcon, Lone Wolf Chain Mail

Historic Enterprises used to have them, I don't see them on the site at quick glance but might still get them if you ask

Edit: I believe GDFB makes a set too. Wherever you buy the mail, generally, buy the pliers from the same supplier. For pin rivets, my historic enterprises pliers don't work with the icefalcon pin riveted mail, I had to get his; slightly different dome size, and they're so small it's critical
