I have a couple of knives on the go from Aldos 1084.
I want to cut the handle in half and weld a new piece onto it with the same 1084.
What welding rod is the best match for 1084 and should the process go something like this: weld>normalize>heat treat ? Or should the HT be done prior to the weld.
I know the weld would destroy the HT in the local material, im asking because im not sure how well the weld will heat treat if I do the weld first.
Thanks!
