These two photos show how I jigged up the blade and hilt for gluing.  I used a putty type epoxy here as well, but the darker stuff for metal.  I used one of those squeeze clamps to hold the blade in place to the hilt.  I then clamped this upright on my little B&D workmate.  This way the epoxy would seep out even though it was a putty form.  Worked great.
