Finally have all the pieces to build up my Julius Pettersson blade from the Ray Mears website. The pieces will need to be cut to size and then peened on. Still deciding if I want a brass boulster and end plate on there though. So far a combination of reindeer antler, an old leather wallet and some curly birch.
Nice. I built a knife kit (but with a full tang and loveless bolts rather than a stick tang like yours) and just used 2-part epoxy. I only had 5 minute stuff and it was a bit cold in the shed while I was doing it so it was a bit thick but it seemed fine.

Anyone done this before? What glue did you use?
