Silver solder and flux combos?

I haven't yet done any soldering, but my current project is going to call for it (or either Jb weld..I assume solder would make for a stronger joint though). I've read positive comments about Stay-Bright solder, so that's probably what I'm going to use.
 
First lets get the definitions right !! SOLDER --low temperature melting such as the ' silver solder' that is about 95 Sn, 5Ag melting about 400 F.
BRAZE - Melting about 1000 F.
Propane or MAPP works for Solder but Oxy/acet is needed for Braze
For soldering stainless steel make sure the flus says " for stainless "

So does what I have selected look correct?
 
R.Rock, the solders you have referenced have vastly different flow points. Stay-bright has a flow temperature of 450 degrees and the silver solder has a flow temperature of 1325 degrees. I know that using stay-bright will not hurt the H/T of the blade if done correctly. My question is whether using silver solder that melts at 1325 will affect the H/T of the blade?
 
Yes thank you I know the different temps and understand all that, and yes the high temperature will absolutely affect the temper and I must take steps to isolate said temperature to protect things I don't want to change.
Question is would the solders I have selected work for the aplication Specified for each? Thank you.
I guess what I'm asking is
"what do you use in these specific applications ?"
