It looks like I'll be needing some soldering and/or welding equipment to finish my next knife, so I've been looking into it. With so many different soldering and welding kits available, I have no idea which to get. Could anyone who uses this equipment tell me what you use, and whether there's anything in particular I should look for?

Also (I'm really going to let my ignorance show here) what's the difference between soldering and welding? Don't they accomplish the same thing (joining metal parts)?

Thanks,

Ryan

For soldering on guards and such I would get on of the simple propane torches that screw on the top of the little bottles of propane. These are cheap about, $20.00, and adequate for even small brazing and silver soldering jobs if your contain the work in firebrick to reflect and hold the heat.
