Bose Knives

Nah, being able to see where the pins are is nowhere near the same as pin stubs or edges or burrs sticking out from the liners -- the whole thing is flattened smooth on a granite plate (or some equivalent process) after peening. You wouldn't even be able to feel them if you could get your finger in there somehow.

Good to know then. It is hard to know from the pictures how much space there is around them.

As I understand it, Tony is using about a 45 degree countersink on the liner side pin holes -- this is a somewhat wider countersink than he actually expects the pin to completely expand to fill as he peens it -- but this means that he can take full mechanical advantage of however much the pin does expand. A much smaller degree of taper/countersink to the liner side hole would easily allow him to fill it and make the pins largely or completely disappear - but their mechanical hold in the liners would be rather weak. But since the countersink is a little bit more than the pins can completely fill, you will get still visible pins.

Hope I haven't made a total hash of Tony's design logic here. :o Ah well, he'll let me know if I have.

Me thinks we over-thinks handle pinning. Showing pins is good. It's proof that handles are properly pinned. KnifeHead has spoken...well, Tony says so. :p

Not over thinking just scared of ruining a piece of mammoth bone that has been in the ground for 10000 years or so. Trying to learn the best way to not ruin it like I did that bit of cow bone. I think I'll be working with cow bone for a while longer :)

This knife sports some dynamite dark-green bone that's dyed and jigged by Shigeru Tozaki, a master cutler in his own right and admirer of Tony's knives. You can see Shigeru's work at http://www8.ocn.ne.jp/~s-tozaki/
