I can understand "hidden" pins . . .

Yep.....I attach two short pins in the tang then epoxy the handles to the pins and tang. With the two pins and 3,300 psi epoxy I doubt the handles can move and I like the clean look of the handles without pins sticking thru. I know some people think the pins add to the look, I on the other hand prefer to see all handle. I saw a custom, thin handled knife the other day, while very nice I thought the 8 1/16" gold pins in the handle stood out more than the really nice wood handles.
