A pin press is a vice made to squeeze the pins used in knifemaking. Many people use a pin vice instead of peening the pins with a hammer. It is made with a hydraulic jack and a metal frame. The knife is placed between the jack (below) and the frame (above) and the jack is jacked up to squeeze the pins until they spread out and completely fill the holes they are installed in.
