    I’ve glued brass to cocobolo. I roughed up the brass with 120 grit sandpaper and used epoxy. It’s lasted for years.

    Had one for about 12 years and cannot imagine life without it. Calibrating it to be parallel to the blade is a little tedious but I don’t have to do it very often. You definitely need to lock it down...
