This is an awesome looking vintage razor.
The custom made scales are made of Cocobolo wood, fully treated against water and humidity.
The blade is extremely shiny, clean with no rust, cracks, chips, pitting or disturbing stains.
Blade holds an incredible sharp edge with very little hone wear.
Easy to hone and maintain.
Blade has been cleaned and polished.
The blade measures 6/8 - spike point which has slightly been rounded to prevent cuts.
On the front shank it says: Bengall
Bengall was a company that manufactured 'Bowie knives' amongst other types of cutlery, located at 211 St. Marys Rd, Sheffield, England. Thomas Radley Cadman was the founder and owner of the firm. The marking 'Bengall' was used back to 1748. The company ceased trading in 1965.
Excellent condition and an extremely nice example of a Bengall.
