I think the pins are a bit off.

Nice handle material. The plungeless grind looks nice and clean.

Simple and efficient shape and good execution. It should become a kitchen favorite for someone.

Pins are a bit tricky on shaped kitchen handles. Making a template or very precise drawing can help. I've seen far worse than yours, so I wouldn't worry too much. Try and drop the back pin a tad next time.

Also, using CF pins will make the pins less contrasting. Most hobby shops sell CF round stock, and online it is readily available.

I really like that one, too. Great lines. I bet it is super light!

Ya almost too light. I was almost regretting it after I made it thinking it needed a ss bolster. But it is growing on me.

Very nice! If you hadn't said anything I probably wouldn't have noticed the pins being off a hair. Looking real hard at it, looks like the back pin needs to be lower and maybe it's the palm swell, but it looks like the middle one needs to be a smidge further back. I love the shape though, should be a favorite in the kitchen for sure!

Looks good!
