Brazing can be done with an oxy/acty rig. The problems you run into with brazing is the temps required (1200F+), with these kind of temps you run a big risk of ruining the blades temper.......and the color of the braze material is going to be light to dark gold color depending on the specific braze you use, and extremely difficult to clean up.
My recommendation it to use a low melt silver solder like "Stay-Brite", which only requires about 400F, and can be accomplished with a simple propane torch.
