Dishwasher safe. That makes me cringe! I made a nice paring knife for my mother's Christmas gift last year. It was O1 with a tapered tang and white ebony handles. I told her that it shouldn't be put in the dishwasher. She apparently disagreed with that. It's still holding together, but the handles have swollen some and she called a few weeks back asking how to remove the rust... I guess it's up to the customer what they do with their knife.

I didn't have any science behind rounding the pin heads. I was concerned about smoothing them and making the handles too thin, so I just sanded/buffed/sanded/more buffing until they were smooth and shiny.
