Wow, those knives are spectacular! Beautiful work.Ya haven't ruined the pattern its, still there ya just need to sand er down when you do your handle. I use my Dewalt Portaband on the Swag table to cut pins. Cut em slightly oversized. I mark with a sharpie and cut most pins at about 3/4". I have a block I put next to the saw blade to raise the pin off the table some. I hold the other end with pliers and cut my 3/4" lengths. After cutting I will then tip one end, (slight taper) by spinning it by hand on a flat disc grinder. This allows placement to be easier. Then glue up and sand down. I use mosaics in bolsters and handles:
