FSB -- Todd Begg Bodega: Pocket Man Jewelry of the First Order
Published: 9 years ago
Here's a look at two... Count 'em, TWO... Examples of the legendary Todd Begg Bodega. Released in 2012, the Bodega has become a benchmark of sorts for a rather new genre of folding tactical knives, the "tactical Flipper." With stunning good looks, a variety of intricate and high quality macining and accessory details, high quality materials and, oh yeah... AWESOME FLIPPING ACTION, the Bodega became an instant classic.
There are some negatives, of course. Cutting doesn't seem to be a real priority for Mr. Begg and his Bodega. The blade grinds, while aesthetically pleasing and well executed, aren't optimal for cutting, and the base of the edge ends with no good purpose at some point before the forward finger choil, leaving an unsightly lump of unsharpened metal to spoil the appearance of an otherwise stunning blade.
