There are a couple of threads on the bladeforums.com knife-maker

serious destructive testing in those threads, and Gorilla Glue is either
the winner or tied with Brownell's Epoxy, depending on your criteria.
I still prefer Brownell's simply because it has more historical data
than polyurethanes, but Gorilla Glue is undeniably easier to use and it
is some incredibly Tough Stuff(tm).

I can't remember,but the reason I am replying

intense distrust of glues...
Try some polyurethane glue ("Gorilla glue"). I use it to tack down
components when needed. It'll even tack a cable to a steel frame.
Great for repairing pottery--it expands to fill gaps and makes a
watertight seal. Yet it's easy enough to trim off with a utility
knife. The only serious drawback to it is the long (i.e. 24 hour)
cure time, meaning you have to keep whatever you're gluing clamped or
tacked in place until the glue cures.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
