What are the thread sizes for the thumb screws on the Menace.  I've gone and lost one of the big red screws now.

Pretty sure they are 8/32 but traded my Menace with Haz so he would know for sure.  If can't get a replacement from US then TCSS sells them.  You sure are having an ongoing adventure with both or just one of your Menace.

Honestly I don't know which one lost the first screw.  I pretty much use it as a staff and dual wield.  I just noticed when I came in today from a practice session a screw was missing.  Who knows when it fell off.  I've been leaving the small button screws off but didn't expect one of the larger thumb screws to fall off.  I probably shouldn't be using it for training but I like to practice with the hilts I'll be using come time for the cosplay.

I had a problem with one thumb screw not threading in tightly as the threading is very short.

The standard blade retention screws are 8/32 threads.  When I have purchased thumb screws for this purpose I get them with a 3/4 inch shaft for length.

I know TCSS sells a bunch of these in multiple colors and styles.

I snagged a replacement and a backup 8/32 .3 diamond thread screws from TCSS.  It's probably the same part and cost less than $5 for a pair.  I'm waiting to hear back from US about if I can order some from them with my rewards points.
