Assembly question!?!?!?!
Well, the blade is finished, normalized three times, heat treated with canola oil quench, and tempered twice per instructions from another post. Now it's time to attach the guard before attaching the handle scales. Per the customer's request, I made a guard from nickel-silver bar stock. Since this is a full tang blade I made an elongated U shaped piece that slides snugly onto the blade that has a notch cut for it. Here is photos to illustrate:
Attachment 15908 Attachment 15907 My question is, since silver solder won't stick to W2 steel, should I just use the industrial 2-part epoxy I have as well as the two silver pins through the side to attach it? Will this be strong enough? I will likely have to use the same method to attach the pommel.  AL C Last edited by Grayshadow95; 12-02-2017 at 11:12 AM.
