I saw this Begg Knives Micro Burst and couldn't resist getting one. It's a collaboration between custom knifemaker Rod Olson and Begg Knives.
This first picture is a full-on custom of the same model by Rod Olson. This is not my knife. Just an example of what Rod does.
Here are a few pictures of the collaboration Micro Burst that I just received. Really nice little knife. The dollar bill is for size reference. In my last picture, you can just barely see the low profile front flipper tab at the front of the handle. Button Lock with a VG10 blade.

Buck Canoe . Surprising quality for a $28 knife. Smooth. Snappy. Sharp. No gaps or proud pins. Scales are flush with the bolsters.

Wow, this is a beautiful bowie knife, Dog, I'm intrigued with the handle and the super-shiny killer blade, probably the nicest and most unique fixed blade I've seen in many moons.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 2:17 am I picked up this Barminski* ...

Considering it's roots, it should be quite valuable one day. Great catch, buddy.

.... However 
.... If you are spending $1,250 or so on just one knife, I am guessing that dollar in the photo is also the last one you have left ..... ....

I have been trying to slow down on getting new stuff ...but I couldn't resist .....

Ha! No way would I spend that much on one knife. That photo was just to show the custom model that mine was designed after.
The production models like mine are only $120 and a good value at that price.

Thanks, Tony! I also have one of the Begg Knives Bodega models. So far, my experience with Begg Knives has been outstanding.Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 10:13 pm Rick, that is a most beautiful piece ... it has STYLE! Many

When I bought the Micro Burst that I posted above, I noticed that the description said the black portions of the handle slabs are machined aluminum. I thought to myself: "They sure look like rubber or plastic to me". Now that I have the knife in my hands I'm still not 100% sure but they might indeed be part of the aluminum handle and not rubber or plastic inlays.

I really like Begg Knives Rick. Their overseas made line is top quality in my opinion. I watched a vid about that also. He said it had to be to compete in today's market, but his manufacturing requirements are very strict. Your Micro Burst and other Beggs I have seen confirm Todd's commitment to to a high quality standard, same as his designs have always been.Railsplitter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 11:05 pmThanks, Tony!

I like the blade design ... but.... If I had to spend $120 on a knife ... then I would have about $1.00 left to my name
