With a similar technique would it be possible to re-weld the cracks?

I would say yes. Russel's fine work and technique on this steel is the only way outside of reforging that would work.

A much lesser technique would be brazing, but that would truly weaken the blade in comparison to this.

Hi Jose,

it's Robert's fine work and not Russel's. Just for clarification.

Best regards,
Detlef
