A blind rivet comprising a rivet body with a hollow shank and a flange at one end has a mandrel extending through the shank of the rivet body and having a head with cutting edges that facilitate expansion of the end of the rivet body shank opposite to the flange when a pulling force is applied to the mandrel to break the mandrel and extract a portion of the mandrel from the rivet body shank. Cooperable portions of the rivet body shank and the mandrel engage one another and prevent rotation of the mandrel with respect to the rivet body. Other cooperable portions engage one another to ensure that the mandrel breaks without undue movement of the head into the rivet body shank.
