Don't fancy your chances of a good result. Let down the temper first then re-harden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Damascus is nearly imposable to weld as it is laminations of steel and iron, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 If the weld can be hidden in the handle you'll be OK cosmetic wise, if not it'll look naff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pboro shot Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 it can be welded but doubt it will be 100% ,to be honest the cost of welding it properly would be cheaper to get new blade forget mig welding it, tig all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitloop Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) i have some electrodes for dissimilar metals there for use on armer plate thay even weld cast to steel depending on the cast though all welderd and ground up just needs re pickling to bring out the eching ps the blade was from these guys http://www.jamesnobleknives.com/ Edited October 22, 2011 by fruitloop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
