I always thought that it should have an accent on the 'e', like this: bonbé, and be pronounced 'bon - bey'. But that's just me.

Regardless of pronunciation, I'm a fan.

All the best,

The bonbe is a term used to descride any ergonomic lump on the blade of a knife. There are a couple of different ways to go about doing this,and it does not respond well to some heat reatment methods, steels and grinds. I believe that the bonbe is most at home on choppers, although they have their place on little knives too. Rick , as far as I know, is the only resident maker with vast expirience in bonbes. maybe he will chime in.

I'm just shocked that it is never mentioned on any of the "other" knife forums

I really don't know anything about Bonbe, but I think I met Bonbe's sister, Trixie, once.
