What method do you use to round pinheads holding scales and handles on folders? I'm reading about folding knife repair and it talks about a "spinner". Where can I get a spinner or similar tool for rounding pins? Thanks.

There is an article in the June '00 issue of KI actually that describes a method for rounding pin ends. Use a rotary tool (Dremel, Ryobi, whatever) with a small stone attachment or deburring attachment to shape the pin in whichever fashion you desire.

Texas Knifemaker's Supply sells head spinners for $15.95. They're double ended with different sizes on each end. The item number is HSP1 and their number is 8884618632.
