Default Epoxy to Glue ebony Handle to knife blank

I am making a handle for a knife kit that was given to me. I am making
the handle out of ebony and birdseye maple. I really don't want to use
rivets. Will epoxy make a good metal to wood bond? Any other non rivet
suggestions?


I tried epoxying knife scales to a marking knife I made a few years ago.
As predicted by Andy Dingley they fell off within a year. I'd suggest
using the rivets along with the epoxy.
