Both mine are vintage. I have a 7/8 Bengall and 3/8 Heljestrand. That's all I have. I wanted two very different kinds and I got it. When they are sharp it doesn't matter which I use. The Bengal seemed to last longer but they both need professional sharpening right now. ( I have pm'd a member about that). I have been out of it for a "minute". Going to get started as soon as they come back!
