Nice Job! One tip I would give you for your next knife, is that for the bolster pins, leave them a tiny bit long, put the opposite side against something hard, and then center punch them with some force. It will cause them to expand at the ends and you wont get the little circles.

Alternately, you can use a ball peen hammer on the ends of the pins to do the same thing so that the finished pin circles won't show. Either way, it will make the bolster pins invisible.

Very impressive, I'd love to learn to build a knife like that.

Yup, I actually did pein them at the start but ended up grinding it lower. The other alternative is to drill blind holes in the bolster and make the pins slightly longer. Clamp hard with the epoxy and no circles because the pins don't go through.
