Soldering Ti Bolsters?

[pwheeler]

I've done some googling on this, and haven't turned up anything specifically related to knives and bolsters. All the references I've found to Ti bolsters indicate that they were attached using JB weld, was just wondering if there is an appropriate solder/flux for Ti to stainless, and how the results have been. Thanks very much!

Pins, screws, JB weld....all work.

A good definition of futility !!!

Spot welding works for bolsters to liners for pocket knives.


Pinning works best for fixed blades. Use Grade 2 stock and grade 2 tig rod for pins. Available on ebay.
