Some people have a certain way about them. They can’t help but be part of something great. They can’t help but be part of something that is better than almost anyone, or anything else around. Perhaps Todd Begg and his team fit into this category. Admittedly, we had bias against a productionized Mini Bodega from the start. Taking an iconic knife that has catapulted in popularity and diluting it down to a production knife seems to diminish the purpose, or so we thought. We were flat out wrong.
If you are one of the fortunate few to have owned a Todd Begg Bodega you already know how exceptional a folder it is. For those who have not yet had the privilege, let us tell you that it’s well worth the price of admission. Todd Begg and his team produce fantastic products that are sought after by knife collectors, and users alike. But with such acclaim and exclusivity come very high prices and long wait times.
Mid-Teching or full production are the only ways for a maker the stature of Begg, (or Ken Onion, Alan Elishewitz, etc) to get a knife into people’s hands at an affordable price. If you can even get on their books for a custom.
