Hello, my partners on crime of continuing age old art.
It is only a year ago I finally decided to go and have a try with a Heljestrand that Iīve had for some decades.
Experience was quite surprisingly a pleasent one, and for conformation took wet shave from a pro.
That was the turningpoint with me. No going back.
Started to learn more and acquire some of these wonderful pieces of history and handicraft.
One of my first ones was an old and badly treated Bengall and I was a bit confused but fascinated with it.
Anyways, long story short, here is some Bengalls of mine. A Finn as I am these are very rarely found here, so mostly have gathered one by one from other Nordic countries.
Due to especially bad lack of spare time havenīt yet done next to nothing with them.
Just slowly getting myself proper tools and information how to make my way ahead.
The one with brown softwood scales is the only one of these Iīve tried, yeeessss..
So, I most humbly wish a call to join The Honorable Bengalls Band of Brothers so on my last moments I could whisper to my descendants:
"Itīs all in the edge.."
