Peening Pin On Bolsters

[Diamond G Knives]

Im setting up to try bolsters on some of my knives.

I understand that I need to have the pin hole slightly larger than the pin.
My question is this. Do I just ream the outer edges of the hole or should I use a tapered reamer for the whole depth of the hole?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks and God Bless
Mike
