Kutmaster Hawkbills
Here are 2 Kutmaster Hawkbills I just recently finished. One is black walnut with brass pins and the other is oak with nickel pins. I’m still having a heck of a time blending the pins in the bolsters. You can’t feel them. I’m thinking the pin stock is the culprit but who knows it’s probably me.

They look awesome in my opinion. 
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Kutmaster Hawkbills
I believe you are correct; the pin stock is the culprit. The bolsters on those two knives are steel, (unless I miss my guess). And you are probably using nickel silver pins. You can get steel pins and they do bend in better.
