Anyone know what the construction method for these was? Are the blades soldered into place or is the frame crimped around the blade?

Soldered and crimped .I have taken loads apart maybe one or two did not have any solder , it could have fallen out i suppose.
I guess the spine is slid on then tightened, finally soldered.
I wonder how they stopped the steel blade losing hardness during soldering.Quote:

I use regular low temp lead free solder. I heat sink the hardend blade then solder into the groove.
I still need to screw around with the set you gave me to finish. Too many projects and not enough time...
