Scotland will meet Germany in the men's final at the European Championships after recovering from a late wobble in their semi with Switzerland.
Bruce Mouat's defending champions led 8-5 going into the final end but an uncharacteristic lapse from the skip allowed the Swiss to level.
However, the Scots recovered to prevail 10-8 after the extra end.
Germany, who lost 12-5 to Scotland during the round-robin on Wednesday, needed just eight ends to beat Norway 8-2.
Saturday's final (13:00 GMT) will be shown live on BBC Scotland, iPlayer, BBC Sport website & app.
Mouat, Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan, who lost just once in the round-robin, are aiming to extend an extraordinary sequence in which they have won the past four European Championships in which they have played.
Scotland's women play in Friday's bronze medal match against Italy following their tough loss to Sweden.
Swedish skip Anna Hasselborg produced a superb draw in the final end to win the match for her team 6-4.
Rebecca Morrison, Jen Dodds, Sophie Sinclair and Sophie Jackson statistically outplayed each of their opposite numbers and overcame starting without last-stone advantage to have the upper hand heading into the last two ends.
However, the experienced Hasselborg responded to the pressure to clinch victory after Morrison narrowly failed with a high-tariff attempt to score the two required for victory.
"We're really happy with how we've been playing the whole tournament, so the semi-final is very tough to take, especially when we were all playing so well," said Morrison.
"We've just got to find a way to re-group for the bronze medal game and we know that if we can play like that there's a good chance that we'll come home with a medal."
Sweden take on defending champions Switzerland in the women's final.
