Was on amazon and saw a product called knife-pro epoxy. Has anyone used it? Is it worth the price difference, about double of other 2 part epoxies.
Got me some bone dust and rust dust to mix with epoxy for a small patch. :) ::shrug::
Whoops, i guess actual name is blade pro.

If so, I see nothing in the technical specification sheet that would differentiate it from other premium epoxies:

If you are going to use it for patching handles, epoxy may not be the best thing, unless it's specifically engineered to harden to the point it can be polished.
Many epoxies stay "gummy."
I use a casting acrylic called Casting Craft that is available from Hobby Lobby. It cures very hard and is as clear as glass. It takes pigments and colorants well.
