What have you tried, Ali?

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Depending on the epoxy used you should be able to get it off with some heat, like a blow dryer. For early glue-ups a lot of knife makers use superglue because it will release when heated slightly. My advice to you would be to look at some of the bladesmiths on youtube, Green beetle, Big Dog forge, and Walter Sorrels in particular ans see how they shape their scales. There is a video of a guy making a knife with urbanite handles that turned out really pretty but i don't recall the channel

So I re-glued the side that came off and we shall see.

That is a great tutorial!

Walt passed it along to me just the other day. I can't wait to do some myself!
