Hy all

I did not touch the knife yet: want to think it over before screwing things up. Brazing is not an option (temp is too high); soldering could work (180 °C with blade compeletly immersed in water); drilling and inserting a rod could work too. The tang is removed from the handle. A friend suggested very controlled / precise TIG welding (he knows a guy that could do it for me).

If i get it fixed, i'll let you know the result.

Thx for the interest.
