Finally got my courage up
First time taking a knife apart. Have it cleaned up and ready to go back together. Since this is my first, should i use brass pins? I would think they would be easier to work with. I've been told nickel silver is a little harder to work with.

Not a lot of difference in nickel silver and brass.

I think it's more about how the pins will look in contrast to your handle materials.
But as Bill said, there's not much difference in the workability.
