1. A binding machine comprising:
a wire feeder configured to feed a wire;
a curl forming part making a path for looping the wire fed by the wire feeder in one direction around an object to be bound;
a cutter configured to cut the wire fed by the wire feeder in another direction opposite to the one direction and wound on the object to be bound; and
a binding part configured to twist the wire wound on the object to be bound and cut by the cutter,
wherein the binding part includes:
a wire locking body to which the wire is locked;
a rotating shaft configured to operate the wire locking body; and
a wire holding part including a first member and a second member relatively movable in a direction of approaching each other and in a direction of separating away from each other, wherein the wire holding part is configured to bend the wire, which is fed by the wire feeder in the another direction and wound on the object to be bound, in an axial direction of the rotating shaft by the relative movement of the first member and the second member approaching each other, and to hold the wire,
wherein the wire holding part is configured to bend and hold a part of the wire on another end side of the wire opposite to a leading end side with respect to a loop of the wire around the object to be bound, and
