No. I recommend you do NOT build up blades with hard facing rods. Just use regular filler metal. Those blades are mild steel to begin with so they will yield instead of fracture if you hit something hard. But, I'm not the boss of you. If you so still want to build up the cutting edges with something more wear resistant, go for something that has the ability to yeild. I think Stellite would break and send out shrapnel (shrapnel = bad!
