Thread: Help with smoothing pin heads and centering the blade please

Does not look too awful bad! It looks like the edge will not hit and the blade will guide it in? I often put the blade in a bind with a half-clothespin and pour 180 degree water over the scales and let it sit for a day or 2 in a bind. Seems to get that little bit I need.
I don't know about Kirnite, though. Should hurt nothing to try?
Light sanding and/or polishing the pins will smooth them out. As you gain experience pinning, you will learn to polish the pin with your hammer considerably by using tiny taps all over.
