Looks good Slicey. Welcome to the club in advance mate. Jimbo is in charge of the hazing of new recruits and he doesn't mind using the paddles so I've heard, but you'll be fine

I just love the symetry of twins anyway but you have two Bengalls with plain blades and a matches set of white scales, doesn't get much better than that for mine
As gorgeous now as they were back in the days of Deco.

indeed you have, the design on the blade looks a bit deco inspired to me which COULD date it to the late 20's early 30's.
Part of the intrigue of Bengalls is that there don't seem to be good records of their catalogue so most of their models are pretty much guess work as far as date.

By Cadmann and sons in some kind of horn scales, took a mean edge (but was reluctant to take one and I had to re hone three times to get it good), Sheffield wedge when at it's best

Usually hard steel that requires some finesse. 62 HRC is possible at the tang
