I have not used this, but have friends in ancient weapon collecting who have been very pleased by the results. Of course it won’t stand up to battle standards, but it might be good enough for display and normal handling.
If it does not work, you could then try a blacksmith. I try to disturb old metal as little as possible.

Has anyone here used it? |
Bill, i have used JB Weld to repair a broken gonjo and it worked just fine...but i don't think i would use it in a situation like this unless i planned never to draw the blade from the sheath again. I am not convince it would hold all that weight that well.
