Were the guards soldered to the blades on these knives? I'm especially interested in the Japanese manufactured version.

Thanks,

good question. I dont own one but ya got me curious so I started looking at pics where I could see. some look like maybe they were done. others dont. the Taiwan made ones I saw don't look like it. this is random pictures all over the internet, so means little. when it comes to which years made or versions.
 
No. It was just an extremely precise fit up. Lynn raved about how especially well done the Japanese versions were.
