Ralph,
The challenge with both welding and brazing blades is that the blade cools down very quickly, becoming brittle. After some frustration with brazing, due mostly to mistakes already pointed out by others (e.g. using a brazing rod instead of a ribbon, not controlling properly the thickness of the braze, etc.), I cave-in once I found a blade welder for a decent price.
With that one I indeed learned that my main mistake was that I didn't anneal the blades properly. After learning how to anneal them properly, my blades work much better.

Bruce why anneal after? Where does any hardness come from unless you are quenching the joint after welding?
I like your method, that is how I will do it when I get around to doing it.
You can do the same with brazing rod.
