I am thinking about attaching a finger guard to a knife I am making and need some wisdom.
I know a lot of people talk about silver soilder and I did some knife making research and found out that it can be very messy if your not proficent at it. I was courious if there is a diffrent type of soilder I could try ? I have acetylene torches so I could try brazing? ( I of course have Propane torches as well ) but I have never delt with trying to braze brass ? not sure if I could with out the finger guard melting along with the rod? I am very inexperienced in brazing so just know that up front.I use the torches mainly for cutting. The steel is about 1/8 thick and so is the brass stock. The steel is from a saw mill band saw if that matters in your reply. Thanks Jeff
