pinning bolsters

[Jack142]

Hey guys,
When you pin bolsters on a small blade, can you get away with just one pin, or do you always do 2 pins ?
I got a small knife that doesnt look like it will take 2 pins.
But I figured I needed 2 pins to keep in and keep it from moving later on.
All advice is appriecated
Thanks
Jack

I think one pin would be fine if you get the bolsters fit up with the scales really well, especially with a dovetail. Might be a good idea to try soldering them on along with the pin. JB weld should seal them good too if you can't solder (I doubt I could)

If it was me I would use two pins
