Begg Knives Recurve Black-Blue BG039 Folding Knife 2.9in 14C28N Harpoon Recurve Blade BG039

The Begg Knives Recurve Black-Blue BG039 is a modern take on the classic slipjoint folder, blending traditional design cues with premium construction and rugged usability. Measuring 6.9 inches overall with a 4-inch closed length, this compact yet substantial knife is built for those who want everyday function paired with refined craftsmanship. The 2.9-inch harpoon recurve blade is ground from 14C28N stainless steel, a steel known for its balance of corrosion resistance, edge retention, and sharpenability. With a blade thickness of .110 inches, it delivers slicing capability while maintaining enough durability for day-to-day cutting tasks. The satin finish adds a clean, understated look that emphasizes the knife’s practical elegance.

True to its heritage, the BG039 operates on a slipjoint mechanism with a nail nick opener, recalling the style and simplicity of traditional pocket knives while integrating a modern blade shape. The harpoon recurve profile gives the knife both a unique aesthetic and functional advantage, with a swedge at the tip for precision work and a recurve edge that bites into material for efficient slicing. This combination of old-world mechanics and contemporary blade geometry makes the BG039 stand apart in a crowded market of modern folders.

The handle is equally impressive, featuring striking black and blue G-10 scales paired with polished stainless steel bolsters and a black G-10 shield inlay. The ergonomic contour provides a confident grip, while the G-10 material ensures durability and weather resistance, even in tough environments. At 4.2 ounces, the knife has a solid, reassuring heft without feeling burdensome in the pocket. The fit and finish echo Begg Knives’ reputation for blending artistry with reliability, giving you a tool that feels equally suited for collection, carry, or daily utility.

Slipjoint knives have a history that stretches back centuries, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a time when a simple folding knife was an indispensable tool for both work and leisure. The BG039 pays homage to that tradition while pushing forward with bold design and materials that meet modern expectations. Whether you’re drawn to it as a functional everyday companion or as a refined addition to a collection, the BG039 is a standout piece that bridges the gap between heritage and innovation.
