Bengall Cast Steel - a visit in Zephyr's workshop, part II
Some time ago I was invited to visit Zephyr/Rune in his workshop.
We worked on 2 razors, the first was a Wade & Butcher, it can be seen here.
It took me a long time to get the second razor ready, but finally it is done.
Pre picture - like the other, it came in not too great a shape and was hand sanded for what felt like a small eternity before this "pre" picture:
Zephyr did his magic on the razor itself (see part one of the visit), and I put on a pair of new horn scales. Bone wedge and inlay, brass empellishments, peens and wedge liners
I have a notion it might look good with some patina on some of the brass, but I have not made my mind up about that just yet. We will see.
Thanks for looking

That is a sweet looking razor. Those scales really set it off. I love the whole brass/black combo.

Awesome!!! When I read part 1 of your visit to Zephyr's, I was upset that I couldn't see the finished Bengall - but here it is!!
Really neat work, I love the scales.

I like the contrasts set up by the scales. The blade looks quite at home.
