I'm trying to solder a brass guard to a damascus blade; and in the future will also want to do the same with 1084 blades. I have almost zero experience doing any soldering. I found out real quick that a propane torch will not work - it pretty much vaporized a stick of Tix solder in seconds.
So what should I use? And this is something I might do a couple of times a year so if I can get away without buying a specialized jewelers torch of some kind I would like that. I thought of trying a butane charcoal grill lighter..
Thanks for any possible help
