Solder joint

Was wondering if I could get some tips on finishing my solder joint between blade and guard , any special tools or methods etc.
 
I'm not sure what you're asking. Have you soldered the joint, or are you seeking advice on how to solder?
 
Well...I scrape as much solder off as i can with a brass rod that I've ground to a flat angle then sand and buff. The solder is soft relative to the other metals and buffing smoothes the solder blending it to the joint.
 
This sounds like it may be my ticket , I did not think of a brass rod , must of left my thinking cap at home!
Thanks
 
Try Bruce Bumps sub-forum here for an example of the brass rod. He uses one when he solders his guards in his WIP/tutorials.
