frankly said I don't know it.  But to my eyes it look like a gas weld. Maybe the restorer willing to comment.Regards, Detlef |

Heat sink paste was applied above were the weld was to be made, then the tang was TIG welded and plunged into heated sand and allowed to cool slowly over a period of hours.

Restoration well done. Beautiful blades, I'll have to look into them more next time I'm in Taiwan.. There's still some makers making them in the traditional aesthetic

Thanks for the information I assume tig and the heat sink paste and was used to minimise the heating to the tempered part if the blade and the warm sand to just help maintain the tempering also. If undertaking such work again could you perhaps take a few pictures if time allows. I successfully welded via arc an attachment onto a leaf spring which amazingly did not soften the spring too much, nice to see how others approach their projects Again very nice work Ken |
