Does anyone weld stainless guards onto stainless blades?

Two methods come to mind.

Get a good mechanical fit and braze or solder in place

Get a good mechanical fit and weld in place with a good stainless rod like 308. This works best before heat treating but can be done after. Cleanup is tougher if welded after heat treating.

Tig welding is best if you have access to the equipment.
