I bought a Tops Brakimo a few years ago and at first I hated the handle. Over time I got used to it and actually like that it's thinner . The edge geometry and shape is amazing. I've had too many knives it's a sickness 😂 BUT it has taught me a ton . The tip and belly on the Brakimo is awesome and once ya use it for awhile you can craft like it's a much smaller knife. I hardly changed anything just changed the secondary a bit and vexed the shoulders and wow its excellent. I would say in my opinion its a real true "survival/bushcraft" knife . The scales are removable so it's much more mod friendly but I love their kydex sheath it's really good. I do have plenty of carving blades or true scandi bushcraft knives BUT if crap hit the fan I'd grab my Brakimo and be totally fine with it. Those Bob's are not tall enough and has the same design of the Garberg , too think in the belly. You would probably like the Brakimo with some modifications of course.
@RobEvansWoodsman its a Joe Flowers design , for most people the scales are 20% to thin. There is also the Dragon fly that has a thinner blade but has basically the same excellent grind with a better grip . ..It now comes with Tops leather sheath and dangler ring like some Bob's come with. I have considered doing my own scales and getting a leather sheath to fit my Brakimo...But I just like the kydex system it has too much. The Dragonfly is on my list , it's like the Bob and Brakimo had a skinny kid 😉😁
Nice one, safer in the woods than the supermarket. That Bob looks pretty handy now you've fettled with it. Still I think you're better with one of those Rob Evans knives 😂
Great video..well done with your water. I’ve tried pouring like that and it’s not easy. I like your bike, it looks really well set up. I have a mountain bike too but just not as many add ons as yours.
Thanks mate. That's my woods bike. I have an old school MTB that I occasionally ride but that has no extra carry options on it. I also have a cyclo-cross bike . I like bikes almost as much as I like knives!!
Hi Rob. Excellent mods and review on the B.O.B. I have two, and I modified both of them but I am undecided on the degrees to set on the micro-bevel whether to make it a 20 degree or a 22. I would appreciate greatly your advice on it. I thank you in advance.

You have great skill.
I’m going to watch many more of your videos.
Excellent video.
Thank you! Cheers!
I like your modifications, I did the same thing before watching your video.
Great minds think alike my friend.

Did you file or grind your knifes spine? I filed it square but used a grinder on the useless thing on the end of the tang.
I used a belt grinder with various grit belts.
Well done Rob..glad you’re out there and can’t see that you’re causing any problems at all 👍
Good video Rob, very enjoyable, good you got out to the woods, keep safe, thanks for sharing👍

I'm not familiar with the knife, I'll check it out.

@@Airik1111bibles I met Joe Flowers last year, he's very enthusiastic!
Keep them coming pal 👍 and stay away from covid 19 squirrels there watching 👀 you
Thanks for that Rob. Nice to see you out and about. We all need some "Wood time" to help us through this madness.
Definitely mate.
BTR stools are superb
I really like how it packs small yet is a full 17" to sit on
and very light indeed
Nice one, safer in the woods than the supermarket. That Bob looks pretty handy now you've fettled with it. Still I think you're better with one of those Rob Evans knives 😂
I like to try things out, I usually fall back on my own knives,
Outbloodystanding Rob mate.... Glad your out and about. My firebox Titanium arrives on Monday, cant wait to get the first burn done with it..
Cool head Dai, I thought it was a bit shit!
Got a few longer ones filmed.
@@RobEvansWoodsman looking forward to seeing them mate... Stay safe...Hope your dad's ok...
Mmmm titanium.....

I'd probably go 22 (steeper )as it's easier to take it down to 20 if it's too steep .
Thanks Rob, I really appreciate your time spent in answering my question. Have a great day and continue making those great videos.
You need to get your hands on a Bushtool far superior to the Bob 🤪🤪🤪🤪
I can let you have details of the bloke who makes em, he’s on Instagram 👍🏻😂😂😂😂
They can all bolt Rob
you fire in
wot no bloopers .....?
Sorry Simon, I'm so awesome at making videos now that I don't mess up😜
is that knife made in Taiwan by any chance ?
No, made in usa
