    Default Bengall in White Mist acrylic

    This Full Concave Bengall wasn't in great shape when it arrived, a fair amount of rust and busted scales.
    The blade etch was very shallow, but I really didn't want to loose it. So I sanded around it, and the sandpaper didn't touch the etch till 1200 grit.
    I found the acrylic at work. Dont know what its really called, It just reminds me of a white mist so I went with it. I really like the look of it.
    The wedge is Corian, Nickel-Silver pins on S/Steel washers.
    When it arrived and I realized it was a 5/8 (a little smaller than I usually like) I was planning to clean it up and stick it on ebay, but now that its done, I think I'm going to have to hang on to it for a while.
    I just honed it too and it looks like took a sweet edge. Unfortunately I've already shaved tonight so the test shave will have to wait.
