Tops Brakimo Fixed Blade
Code: TPBRAK01Related products
Product detailed description
The word Brakimo comes from the language of the Matis, a Matis tribe still living in Brazil today that was uncontacted by the modern world until 1975-1976. This tribe has a unique way of life that would challenge the survival skills of any survivalist.
The purpose of the Brakimo knife (pronounced BRAH-key-moe), designed by Joe Flowers, was to be a backup knife to the machete or to serve as the main camp knife. Joe Flowers runs a sort of survival school called Bushcraft Global, which takes people of all skill levels into the Amazon jungle to learn survival skills. Not just jungle-specific skills, but a mindset that serves people regardless of location, he needed a knife that could be the company's flagship knife, and he designed the Brakimo 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 useful for drilling holes for bow fires, blowgun mouths, traps, etc. Simple design, ideal for many different uses. Made of 1095 high carbon steel, so it is easy to maintain the blade even in the field. When tested during a trip, Bushcraft Global 2015 Tops found that by keeping it dry whenever possible, corrosion was not an issue.

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.
