I think it has more to do with what he finds to be notable about the blade. If the work is exceptional or remarkable, his description will be written accordingly.

You may consider a laser welder. I can weld stainless and mild steel but have never tried iron. The problem will be getting the defect clean enough, or perhaps even filing it out before introducing the fill. You may see if there is a jeweler in your area with a LW, but make sure they also have argon or it will likely fail.

Ok lets see..........antique fair, purchased for contents, relatively small, known to by lighters and other incendiary items that can make ash Immediate guess would be an ash tray. But for some reason I dont think youre a smoker, so I would have to guess....... some kind of set having to do with burning incense?

Hmmmmmm..........One more question please sir?.......what are the appox dimensions of the box?

Will you at least tell us muggles what the kanji says? Or does it say "No, it didnt break the bank"

In this instance, the writing doesn't really matter. It would be like if someone was looking for Thor's hammer and found a hammer with ancient writing on it. Before reading the writing on it, a fiberglass handle would tell you all you need to know. Same thing here
