The legendary Bodega by Begg Knives
Begg Knives needs no introduction in the knife community. For the Begg family, knifemaking is more than just a craft or a way to make a living — first and foremost, it's about creating art objects at the intersection of beauty and functionality.
The Bodega model is the flagship and bestseller of the American company. Arguably, every serious collector either owns a Begg custom or is actively hunting for one. And hunt they must — because these knives are practically never available in open retail.
The Bodega is named after the eponymous bay on the North American Pacific coast, where Hitchcock's legendary thriller "The Birds" was filmed. The curved profile of the handle's rear echoes the contours of that very shoreline — as if a map had been drawn by tracing its outline with a pencil.
The knife's drop-point blade is forged from RWL-34. The grind is a Hollow Grind. The spine features a perforated fuller. The grinds and fuller are mirror-polished, while the spine is satin-finished.
The knife's frame is crafted from titanium. The decorative handle components are zirconium. The backspacer and pocket clip feature a special "Jewel Iced" finish with DLC coating. The luxurious appearance will impress even the most discerning connoisseurs, and the micron-precision fit of the parts will make many rethink what an impeccably made knife can be. In this regard, Begg knives have few equals.
At the pivot of the Bodega flipper lies the patented Ikoma Korth Bearing System. According to the model's creator, a properly designed flipper with IKBS will outpace any automatic folder in deployment speed. Add to that high resistance to lateral stress and dust ingress.
Despite its rarity, the Bodega is no finicky "princess and the pea." It's a reliable, durable companion for any knife enthusiast, meeting all the demands of urban EDC.
