The Micarta Inlays Over the Titanium Handles Give it a Great Solid Feel in the Hand. While the Cracked Ice Finishing All Around Provides a Very Classic Look. This Is The Knife That Started The Bodega Legacy... Here is a clip from the Begg Knives Web Site, From Todd: The Bodega is my first design since moving to my new shop in Petaluma, California. Im very proud of the design as it is a departure from typical liner lock construction in that it features a full 6AL4V titanium inter-frame handle and back spacer along with a patent pending removable titanium bolt on lock.
Not only is the lock bar removable for easier maintenance, it is also engineered for the tip of the lock to fit under the rear scale which provides over bend and compression protection. This is the first knife I have built that has no liners but that also features IKBS. When properly executed, the Ikoma Korth Bearing System provides the smoothest and fastest action attainable in a folding knife, a system I believe we have perfected here at Begg Knives, due impart to a process I developed of cold forging the bearing races. The Bodega blade features Bøhler N690 steel that has been double tempered and cryogenically quenched to ensure a lifetime of performance and durability. The clip also is constructed of 6AL4V titanium which is set on riser posts for a deep pocket carry along with an innovative large ball baring contact point. Inlays will vary from 3D textured carbon fibers, micartas and a unique custom pierced titanium. The Bodega is constructed using heat treated precision Bybee pivots that have been honed, lapped and fitted to each blade individually, for the ultimate in glass smooth action. The spine of the knife is constructed utilizing five steel posts that run through all components of the handle insuring unmatched durability and alignment.
