Thread: Bengall's Band of Brothers

Coming right up !!

The mother of pearl scales are incredibly thick, Glen unpinned them, restored the blades and repinned them, he did an amazing restore.

in the case !

Last ones !!

What a lovely grind! Looks amazing.

That's what first drew me to them, I hadn't seen any Bengalls like this before and certainly not Toledo steel ( maybe ! )

Unusual grind for Bengall, never seen anything like it. Very nice restore Glenn.

As for more skilled craftsmen, it was Sheffield's reliance upon skilled craftsmen instead of machines which eventually caused the cutlery industry there to wither. At their best, Sheffield's hand made products were unsurpassed. That is why Germany copied their marks, after all.

This is important when your Bengall has Made in Germany on it. Like my FAKE does, but hey, it was Free.

Hello, I picked up this razor on an online auction. I am new to buying vintage razors and this one seems interesting. I am wondering if anyone has any info on it, it measures 3/8. It says Bengall 22 on one side and made in England on the other. It doesn't seem to have a lot of hone wear on the spine, but as I said earlier I'm new to vintage razors.
Any help would be great, thank's in advance!
