    Nice find at a great price. I've not run across a Bengal yet but I love the old Pumas. If that chip is the one out towards the point you won't lose too much getting it out of there. Once honed up they'll make mighty fine shavers.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    well today went well.Started sanding back the blade of the bengall using a combination of a dremel & hand sandling and polishing got most of the pits out thou there still some pitting there so i will do some more tomorrow all up its looking ok

    the one on with the big crack on the blade was my first attempt with the dremel i was pretty ****ed off about killing the blade thou i could use it to learn how to pin & unpin scales

    cheers

    Bummer....
    I am now rethinking using a dremel on a recent find. I think I
    will retry some brown paper strips with MASS then some thing
    that looks like white Dovo strop dressing on most of the blade.
    I might try some power up near the spine. What I realy want is
    a walnut polisher that can take the razor scales and all.
