The Tops Brakimo is my favorite knife for any kind of outing. It don't matter if I'm camping or if it's bushcraft/woodcraft. I have used and own a bunch of knives but this one has done the best for me. It is a beast in the woods.
I freaking love Tops!! Huge fan!
Me too brother!!!
Love the Brakimo, one of my favorites
It's a fantastic blade for sure. Thanks for the comment. 🙏👊
Un gran cuchillo y un gran afilado te felicito desde España
Thank you so much 👊
a great knife👍 thanks for showing brother👋🙂🙏
Thank you for watching brother🙏🙏, I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in it.
I purchased one for weekend camping in the forest. Its a great one tool option if you don't need to cut down trees. There is no need to ever turn back from tops in my opinion.
I agree, they are my favorite fixed blade company.
That knife looks beautiful when it's polished!!
It's an amazing knife.
I've had mine for about a year and half, now, and I love it. I almost lost it when the clip on the sheath came off after the little bolt and nut came unscrewed. Fortunately I was at the house when it happened, or I might have lost it. A little Locktite fixed that problem and it hasn't happened again.
I went a different direction with the blade edge, instead of polishing mine, I cold blued it after having it start to rust on a long, wet weekend where the blade never got a chance to dry out. I'd heard folks at Joe Flowers Amazon trip had that problem, too. I always keep it oiled, now as well.
I'm glad you love it. It truly us my favorite knife.
Hey bro, I missed this one somehow. Excellent blade. Have a good afternoon bud 🇺🇸
Thank you, it's my favorite for sure. 💪🔪 👊
Knives are another one of my obsessions. Absolutely love the blade show!!! 👊
Thanks brother 🙏 obsession is the perfect word for me too.. lol.. I really wasn't sure how everyone would respond to knives on the channel. I think most like it, or atleast don't mind it. I. Glad bc I want to do knife vids as I go. Thanks again brother for the nformation to help grow the channel 🙏👍 ..
@@ChuckinSteel it’s always good to mix it up every once in a while. Even I am going to start incorporating some different things and interest into my channel as well.
@@canvandal4503 my plans from the beginning was to do knives and slingshots
Very interesting and informative video and excellent looking knife 👍🏻
One of my favorites, thank you.
Nice man
Thanks brother 🙏
Very nice looking knife. I really like the look of their stuff but haven't gotten any lol
They are worth every penny. Your really should try one. Thanks brother 🙏👊
TOPS Knives is one of the best knife makers out there. You can trust your life with their knives.
Everyone talks about the ESEE guarantee, but what good is a guarantee if the knife fails you at a critical moment? TOPS Knives won’t fail you.
Worth every penny 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice looking knife ! great demonstration brother 💯🔪👍🏻
Thanks so much brother🙏, I didn't know anyone would like this kind of video. 👊
Awesome knife bro!
Thanks brother. 🙏 I'm glad you liked it. 👍
@@ChuckinSteel Welcome, bro I think you'll like my recent videos.
Nice looking knife bro 🤘😎
I like knifes too, but not nearly as much as slingshots.
Guns is my first love lol but knives and slingshots are both about the same for me. I have had a knife collection since I was about 8 yrs old about the same time I had my first slingshot. Lol
Great video brother! Always love seeing people out doing real world things like starting a fire cant wait to see more of your vids
Thanks brother 🙏 🙏 your knife will get a video for sure!!! 👊
I rotate my edc between the TOPS Prather War Bowie and the Brakimo, depending on my mood and where I plan to go that day.
The Brakimo has replaced every knife of that size. Imho, it’s the best knife you can carry.
It’s the backup for my TOPS Armageddon when I head out to the high lonesome (yeah, I like TOPS knives).
That's freaking awesome brother. I'm the same way. Love Tops
Cracking knife mate,,,,,,can tell you you've been playing with em from a child,,,,,,I use the same sharpness test on the back of my arm myself.....Great videos mate🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thanks and yes sir. From a young age. Thanks again brother 🙏👊🍺🍺
The Brakimo is wicked , its a plain and simple design its what a knife should look like in my opinion.
I ended removing the grey coating, it has some kind of clear coat crap that ends up getting rust trails. That's the only way I can explain it ....Anyways I gave mine a patina and also polished the scandi edge . It looks like they changed the micarta mine is more grey looking and gets that oily shine from my hand oils . It's such a workhorse but yet also beautiful looking.
This is still my favorite knife of all time. The new Brush Wolf is amazing too, of course it's in a different category but the Brakimo and BOB are definitely in my top field knives.
@@ChuckinSteel Brushwolf ..haven't seen that one.
I think I might get their Tanimboca Puukko knife . My other goto blade is the Ontario SK5 Blackbird, holy crap it's wicked sharp and has the most comfortable square handle ove ever had. It's in 154cm steel that's the only downer for me but it works so freaking good .
I love Tops and have my MSK 2.5. Attached to my Brakimo too👍
Their knives are just wicked looking and that differential heat treat is excellent.
Yes sir, they have the best 1095 in the business In my opinion. Yeah the Brush Wolf is a larger knife but I always carry a larger knife or axe with me. Kinda like a 3 blade combo, with the mid size doing most of the task. I do carry a hawk or axe instead of a larger knife tho. Tops is by far my favorite fixed blade company. I love ontario too, I don't have the sk5 but want one. Tops Senorin is excellent
Scab sent me over. Glad he did too. First of all, I've been considering grabbing one of these for quite awhile. Your review talked me into buying one, I have a Tops BOB, and quite a few other bushcraft style blades, but something about the Brakimo attracted me. I just wanted these handles, but all I could find for a long time was the Rocky Mountain tread ones. The Knife Connection recently got some of this style handle in, so I just ordered one. I didn't really need another bushcrafter, but..well..I'm a knife nut, so there ya go, lol.
Also, I've been interested in slingshots, but know next to nothing about them, so your channel should help me out there too! I'm so glad Scab gave you the shout out, or I may never have found your channel! He's a great guy. He gave me a shout out too,along with so many others, and I picked up a few new subs myself. The man may be big and burly, a little rough around the edges, but he has a heart of gold.
Have a great holiday weekend brother.
Stay safe, and God bless.
Thanks so much for subscribing 🙏🙏 I'm a knife nut too... I'm glad that you decided to get a Brakimo, like I said in the video, it really is my go to knife for bushcraft. It's perfect for me and it's plenty strong enough to hold up in survival situations. You won't be disappointed In the purchase. Slingshots are fantastically fun and challenging. Anything you need to know just ask. I'll help get you started and improve anyway I can. I have some pretty good videos showing how accurate they can be. You just have to go further down my list. I shoot a golf ball from 45 yds first shot and even at 100yds in like 5 shots I think. I'm subbing to you right after this reply. Thanks again 👊 have a happy independence day and weekend. 🇺🇸🇺🇲
@@ChuckinSteel Thanks for subbing! I most definitely plan to go through your past videos as soon as I have the time. I've been thinking of getting into slingshots. Used to have one as a kid, and I had a blast with it.
@@timbo4374I'm watching some of your vids now.
@@ChuckinSteel Awesome. I hope to get out to the woods soon to show some of these knives in action, but unfortunately I don't get out as often as I used to. I have a bad back and both knees are shot, so I have to be having a good day to do it anymore. Soon though. I want to at least show some of the big choppers at work if nothing else.
@@timbo4374 I understand completely. I'm all broke down myself. I just ordered a 9 in woods Bowie from Wyatt Hines a few days ago. I can't wait to get the knife I have been wanting for yrs but nobody made it until I talked to Wyatt. He drew the knife I had in my head. Now my trio will be complete. Lol
I forgot all about the knife videos
Yeah I need to do some more
Nice knife bro looks great wouldnt mind having one myself but i get caught with it on me od get done over here lol i stick to my opnel no 7 my favrout lol great vid bro
Why do you prefer it over the BOB?
@@bartcornelius7717 I prefer a flat sided handle over a curved handle but I like the blade shape and design better on the Brakimo mainly bc it's wider. This for me is the perfect knife. I have yet to find one to beat it. There are some really close ones like the BOB and the Bisonte from condor. This of course is just my opinion bc the knife fits my taste.
Hey new sub here. I love guns knives and slingshots too! Scab sent me this way!
Thank you so much for the sub..🙏🙏🙏 scab is freaking amazing 👏
If you like slingshots check out some of the videos on down my list. I have so.e pretty good shots up.
Iam a new sub sent from Scab
Thank you so much 🙏🙏 Scab is an amazing person. I just wanted to spread the love for slingshots and knives, I hope you enjoy the channel. I have so.e great vids on how accurate slingshots can be and more knife stuff is coming.
Bought the knife based on this video! Beautiful sharpening there - what technique do you use? Would love to see a tutorial as there are hardly any out there for scandivex.
Thank you sir 🙏 and I'm glad it pointed you towards the knife because it really is my all time favorite. I use whet stones and I don't even own a belted sharpener. I tend to do mine differently than most people out there but it works for me. A few people have asked for a sharpening vid so I'll do one. If your knife dulls b4 I get the vid out then it won't hurt to just sharpen the bevel edge or micro bevel. I'm really glad you got the knife. Your gonna love it I'm sure. Thanks again.🙏👍👊
@@ChuckinSteel that'd be amazing - will keep an eye out for it!! Impatiently awaiting the package in the mail as we speak haha
@@ryanhinderman 👍 I'm exactly the same way. 😆🤣
@@ryanhinderman did you like your purchase?
@@ChuckinSteel I did! I have to say that at first I was disappointed...it was pretty terrible at carving at first with the factory edge, even though it was sharp. I spent a couple hours grinding away the slight hollow grind and removing the secondary bevel. I basically sharpened it like a scandi, but with a back and forth motion that made it slightly scandivex. Now it carves like a dream and chops like a baby hatchet! Hard to believe what a difference that made. Still hoping you'll make a sharpening video for us someday ;)
Another great review! Awesome! This s your ultimate number 1 knife?
Thanks brother.. yes this is my all time favorite knife of all tme. I absolutely love it. I like thinner handles or slab sided handles more than extremely contoured handles. This and the Bob are really close tho. Iv owned both for a good while, like 4 yrs or so and use them all the time.
Indeed an interesting knife! I think the small one on the sheath is also quite useful, or? Greetings 👋😎🤙
p.s.: it costs about 200 € over here in Eurpoe 😅
Yes for sure. The small one is the TOPS MSK (Mini Survival Knife). I'll do a video on it too. It's great for the small quick task. It punches above it's weight class.
I kinda figured the Brakimo would be more expensive in Europe but that is expensive for any knife. That's about 240 American $.I paid 140$ for mine and it's worth every penny.. I probably would pay it but only bc it's my favorite knife ever. Thanks brother 🙏.
@@ChuckinSteel thank you 🙏
Please tell me what brand ferro rod you like. I’ve got a couple of Firesteel rods, but they go corduroy on me and that’s a pain.
I use EricX Light. You can get them on Amazon also bayite is a good brand. They all will get highs and low but when you first see it starting just use the sharpest striker or spine you have and push down really hard and peel them off.Eric X isn't as easy to get them as others iv owned
Hi there.
Scab send me over.
I just subscribed, lets see whats your channel is all about.

Stay safe everybody, and stay blessed.
Greetings from Germany!
Thank you so much for subbing. I have some great shots of accuracy with a slingshot, especially long distance stuf. I will be doing more knife and outdoors stuff as I go. THANKS AGAIN 🙏 for the sub. Have a blessed weekend.
@@ChuckinSteel
Maybe you make the slingshot bug bite me again. Because a long time ago I was pretty good with selfmade slingshots and hexnuts.
@@kongandbasses8732 I hope so. The more people in the sport/hobby the better. I think wasp slingshots would probably be your best bet since your from Germany, they have nice slingshots for cheap that's tuff as nails. I hope you back into it.
