Congrats on another good find.

Hello Hideyoshi.

Nice project, and nice work on the handle.
But on which temperature did you solder it together again ?

And the blade ? are you going to etch it ?

Best regards,
Willem

Hello Willem,
I used a regular 100-140 watt soldering gun, not sure to what degree of temperature it produced but it did the job. I had light etched the blade, just enough to see the twistcore pattern. I will re-etched it again once the restoration is complete.
