Pin offset and alignment question
Hello Pros,
I can't seem to find info from the search info, (apologies for re-post was meant here) Question 1: Offset Is there a "standard" or how does one determine what the offset of the pins should be from the top of the spine to the bottom of the handle so it looks even after scale install Question 2: Alignment (probably answered by question 1) Should the pins follow the spine contour and be equal distance of offset from the top of the spine or use X/Y axis's for alignment Thank you in advance Rob |

The keys for pin placement are: Even, equal, and they should add to, instead of detract from the overall knife. Pins are one of those areas of knifemaking that fall more along the "art" facet instead of "technical". As long as it looks good, and follows the keys I mentioned, there are no "rules".
