I haven't made a through tang knife before and now I need to find some silver solder for the bolster. Can anyone point me to a supplier (preferably Canadian) that they use? Thanks for your help Dave
Hi Dave, Not sure exactly which flavour of solder you are looking for, but I'd take a look at Gesswein in Ontario. https://www.gessweincanada.com/searchresults.asp?Search=silver+solder&Submit= I don't know of anyone around here that has this kind of variety. I have bought tools from them before and had no issues. Hope this helps, Dan
Hi Dan This is the stuff I was looking for https://knifemaking.com/products/jh102-professional-solder-kit-w-paste?_pos=1&_sid=633083591&_ss=r It's low temperature( melts at 430 deg F) and Amazon has it as well but seems pretty pricey for only 1/2 oz. I was hoping somebody on the forum might have some other recommendations. Regards Dave
Various low temperature or narrow liquid range solders are best sourced from electronic component suppliers.
