Looking for a the right adhiesive to glue the scales on the steel of the knife handle before using brass 1/8" pins to pin the scales. What glue or adheasive is best to use with buffalo horn, and what to use with wood or other materials. please advise.

I use 15 or 30 min epoxy.

Thanks for the information.

Anyone out there using T-88 Epoxy?

I have some wood handled knives I made in the 70s glued with T-88 and they are still going.

The original uses for T-88 was marine and aircraft construction so I guess lifespan is kinda important as well as strength.

Using wood scales on a full tang. Gorilla glue is top rated. A member at bladefrums did an exclusive test using various handle materials with full tang and hidden tang. Gorilla wood is tops for full tang and wood operation. Be sure to clamp adequately.

I always use 2-ton 30 minute epoxy. Never had a problem.
