It seems to me that it likely requires more skill to peen those pins in properly than it does to use Corby bolts. Those guys use a tapered reamer to ream the holes before they start peening, and the pins probably have to be annealed. There's so much more to making these knives, process wise and technique wise, than I realize...and it's always interesting to me to learn little things from these unique craftsmen.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I just like to screw with Roy He gives and takes will. I value him very much as a customer and he likes the Corby's so I always put them in when asked. I like pins for the look and strength I have never had a handle come off after many years. When you peen the pin and taper ream its crooked from top to bottom. Corby"s are great - I just don't like the hassle. It seems to me that it likely requires more skill to peen those pins in properly than it does to use Corby bolts.

Sometimes I just like the look of Corby's especially with micarta. Just depends on my mood. I think the hunter you made for me with that nice Amboyna Burl looks better with the pins and if I were going to use stag or dyed amber bone of some sort, I'd use pins also. It's all good stuff.

Larry finished the sheath for this guy last week. Second one like it. Contoured the horn on this one. Bose drop point with a slightly longer blade.
