Peen the handle pins?

Believe it or not I have never done that, I use my mosaics/straight pins ground flat or corby/loveless and even cutlery rivets and some solid brass rivets for leather I can't find anymore.

Peen the bolsters, yes. All the time and fill in the countersink as well. I'd of course heard of it, but never saw it done on a handle and in the early 90s I never knew you could. Funny the different roads we take to where we are. I like my little 1/8" loveless bolts.
