Threading tools are called taps and dies. Taps are for threading holes, and dies are for threading round stock. Most hardware stores will have the basic or standard size.

You will also need a tap and die wrench to hold an turn the tap or die.

I hope this is what info you was looking for.

Kevin, as always YouTube can help. There are some tricks that can save you heartache and wasted material. Practice first on some cheep stock before trying to thread your tang on a good piece of work.
