almost all full tang knives use epoxy
Almost all custom makers use epoxy, no matter what kind of pins or bolts they use.
There is a trend among survival knive makers to use bolts and no adhesive. They also like to use carbon steels such as 1095. I think their idea is that they worry about moisture under the scales and corrosion, and with removable scales they can take the scales off to clean under them.
