Congratulations, great job of restoration and beautiful parang.

Little question :
I've 2 cracked blades of the cutting until 2/3 of its width.
With a similar technique would it be possible to re-weld the cracks?

I would say yes. Russel's fine work and technique on this steel is the only way outside of reforging that would work.

A much lesser technique would be brazing, but that would truly weaken the blade in comparison to this.
