I hate silver soldering bolsters to liners. I'm a gold/silversmith, so you know I can do it, but I hate having flux seep out of the joint between a bolster and liner, so I just don't do it.
Even when I apply bolsters to a fixed blade knife, I peen the pins and use epoxy inside the joint to keep water out. Simple, effective, and no worries about flux seepage or water/rust damage.
I do admire a well done silver solder job with a nice uniform bead done by others, though.
