    Unhappy Is there a way to fix this crack in my bengall?

    Hi All, First time posting here, and would appreciate any help/advice you guys might have on fixing my bengall...

    I thought about soldering it but its' just not making sense, and i'm wondering whether there has been anyone who has managed to fix something similar?

    Thanks in advance!

    Yea… No.

    Even if you could, the edge would always have a chip where the two corners of the crack meet. It will cut you.

    Sorry, your SOL, on that one. Good part of it all....there's probably thousands of others to choose from.

    Polish it up and frame it. Other than that it's a wind chime or a miniature paper weight. Sorry to say but once they crack like that there's no turning back.

    Well, there is an option I haven’t seen mentioned. Certainly not for everyone, but you can continue to use the razor if you want to.
    If you have a Dremel, or can put your hands on one. Butcher it. Cut the bad stuff out. Not like you have much to lose.

    You have to be careful cutting so as not to overheat and destroy the temper.

    I have a very square jar, and my neck looks like the foothills of a mountain range coming up to it.
    I use this thing almost every time I shave to scoop out the two hollows under my jaw line.
    Works like a charm.
    Again not for everyone, but if you need an edge with a little less real estate. YMMV.

    Yeah, there is that. It gives it kind of a kamisori look. You could always make a super shorty out if it too.

    I like the idea of shining it up and framing it, but if thats not to your liking, harvest the scales and use them for another blade.
