I recently scored a deal on a baby Kukri. I like it! 
However, one of the handle pins is a bit proud and has a burr that snags on my finger. Maybe it wasn't well finished at the "factory"?

Is there a way to fix this that won't require refinishing the handle? Thanks!

P.S. Coincidentally Amazon just sent me a kitchen knife that has a similar problem (even worse). For $22 I'm figuring that I use it to practice on...
