Todd Begg
The Integral Guard
Recurve Clip-Point
An integral fixed blade from Todd Begg’s Western Washington bench — guard and ricasso machined from a single billet, then dressed to a clean hand-rubbed satin. The recurve clip-point carries a notched thumb rest at the spine, .152″ stock, and a deep belly just over an inch and an eighth.
The handle is mortise-tang construction: black G-10 set with panels of lightning-strike carbon fiber and a warm oval of gold-lip pearl to either side. It comes with a hand-tooled brown-and-black leather sheath and a zippered case.

Todd Begg
Western Washington · Begg Knives
Todd Begg made his first knife in 1983 while still in junior high, the family already steeped in hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. A stint in the military as an NBC reconnaissance team member put hard-use blades in his hands daily; Bob Loveless’s How To Make Knives lit the fire, and a Machine Shop Technology program, completed in 1998, gave him the precision to chase it.
A full-time maker turning out roughly 150 knives a year, Begg is known for work that borrows in equal measure from the distant future and the distant past — science-fiction lines over old-world craft — alongside the mid-tech Steelcraft series that carried his designs to a wider bench.
Equal parts science fiction and old world.
