I'm guessing that most pivot pins that you would encounter in the large stilettos would be 5/64" or 3/32", but there other sizes that it could possibly be. If you need to remove the pin anyway, why don't you just measure the diameter after you have removed it? Or, if the pin came out and is lost, just measure the size of the hole in the bolsters and in the blade using your drill bit set until you find the size that gives you a good, snug fit.
