Soldering Brass.

[Tod Lowe]

Hey guys.
Im building a full tang S.S knife that will have a brass guard on it.
I have been soldering S.S. guards to S.S. blades but havent tried brass yet.
The guard will be pinned also.

Is the silver solder ok to use on the joint or is there something better to use?
Do I just proceed as usual with it?

Thanks

Tod.

Todd you will find it is sooo easy to solder brass. Where you may have had problems with the stainless brass just wants to suck that solder into the gap. Have fun.

Yup. Brass actually likes solder.

If you've had success soldiering stainless guards, you will LOVE brass.
