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?



Hi you may want to drill shallow holes in the scales and also if you
can on the blade so that the epoxy will grip better. At least scratch
the surface of the blade. you can also comsider placing short pins
that are not exposed on the surface.
