Code: TPBRAK02Related products
Product detailed description
The purpose of the Brakimo knife (pronounced BRAH-key-moe), designed by Joe Flowers, was to replace the machete or serve as the main camp knife, he needed a knife that could be the company's flagship knife, and he designed a Brakimo knife to meet that need.
It has a fairly wide blade profile combined with a modified TOPS Scandi grind that gives it great cutting and slicing power.
The tip tapers significantly, making it usable for bow fires, blowgun mouths, traps, etc.
A simple knife design ideal for many different uses, the blade is made from 1095 high carbon steel, making it easy to maintain the edge even in the field.
Tested by TOPS during the Bushcraft Global 2015 trip, they found that by keeping it dry whenever possible, there is not even much of a corrosion problem.
The word Brakimo comes from the Matis tribe. These Matis are a tribe found in Brazil that was uncontacted by the modern world until 1975-1976.
This tribe has a unique way of life that would challenge any survivalist.

In late 1998, the TOPS Knives brand was founded with the goal of creating some of the highest quality knives on the market. These knives are tools that are designed and built using the extensive knowledge and real life experience of many users in the military, armed forces, outdoor professions and martial arts. Specifically, designers with backgrounds ranging from Navy Seals to Airborne Rangers, from martial arts instructors to survival experts, and from SWAT team members to Native weapons experts were collaborated with. TOPS has a designer from almost every background that uses hard-core knives.
All TOPS knives are handcrafted in a sweatshop in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, USA.
