Carefully sand the brass pins flush with the sides.
Go slow because if you get the pins too hot, they will roll a burr into the knife scales and you won't be able to get it cleaned up unless you sand it down at least 1/16".

With the sides flat, I will profile the scales until I hit steel all the way around.

I get it roughed out evenly all around before shaping the handle how I want it.
