    1) Sanding the protruding top of the guard so it’s level with the spine.

    Metal dust is generated during this step. I have to emphasize that, to avoid any possibility of lead poisoning, the solder I used was LEAD-FREE.

    2) Cutting off excess brass.

    3) Forming the finger groove in the guard using the small-diameter linisher.

    4) The blank with soldered guard.
