Todd Begg Appraisal

Todd Begg Steelcraft Series Mini Bodega Folding Knife

This item is a Todd Begg Steelcraft Series Mini Bodega folding knife. The knife features a drop point style blade with a satin finish, which appears to be made from a high-quality stainless steel, typical for tactical or EDC (Everyday Carry) knives; S35VN is a common steel used for these models. The blade exhibits a prominent swedge on the spine and a large choil near the handle. Unique to this blade are five oval cutouts along the top edge, likely for weight reduction and aesthetic appeal. The blade is marked with the 'Todd Begg' signature in a stylized font, and 'Todd Begg' in a smaller, more legible font directly below it. Closer to the handle, a logo consisting of crossed lines and the word 'Steelcraft' is visible, confirming its series. The handle scales are black, likely G-10 or a similar composite material, known for durability and grip, with visible texture. A silver-colored, possibly titanium or stainless steel, pocket clip is attached to one side of the handle, secured by three small Torx screws. The clip is designed for tip-up carry. Hardware such as the pivot screw and other fasteners appear to be stainless steel, also secured with Torx heads, indicating quality construction. A flipper tab is integrated into the blade's tang for quick deployment. The overall condition appears to be very good with minimal signs of wear; the blade finish is largely intact, and the handle shows no significant damage. This knife is a contemporary piece, likely produced in the last decade, reflecting modern tactical knife aesthetics and materials. The quality of craftsmanship is high, indicative of a designer brand known for precision and robust construction.
