Brakimo Slim Coco-Drillo

When you are deep in the humid backcountry of the Colombian Amazon or managing a camp along a rain-drenched coastal river, rust is your constant enemy. Standard carbon steel tools excel at processing wood, but they demand constant oiling and maintenance when every piece of gear is soaked. You need a tool that stands up to constant moisture without weighing down your belt during long treks.

Designed alongside Joe Flowers of Bushcraft Global, the TOPS Brakimo Slim solves this exact problem. By slimming down the thickness and profile of the classic Brakimo, we created an agile, lightweight companion knife that pairs perfectly with your axe or machete. It manages fine carving, shelter building, and food prep without forcing you to carry extra bulk.

Its performance comes from these key design elements:

• Bohler N690 Stainless Steel: Prevents rust and staining in humid or coastal environments while remaining easy to touch up in camp with a simple pocket sharpener.
• Slimmed-Down Profile: Reduces overall hip weight to just 6.2 ounces, keeping you agile on long treks without sacrificing blade length or structural strength.
• Modified Scandi Grind: Delivers the aggressive carving and wood-splitting capability of a traditional Scandi with a modified edge that resists chipping during heavy tasks.
• Coco-Drillo Tread G10 Handles: Provides a high-traction, non-slip grip that resists moisture, UV damage, and extreme climate shifts.

At TOPS, we build tools for the quiet professionals and outdoor survivalists who cannot afford gear failure when they are miles from help. The Brakimo Slim is ready to tackle the elements alongside you, whether you are traversing dense rainforests or setting up camp on a misty mountain ridge. It is a dependable, high-performance tool built to handle the harshest environments on earth.

Please Note: While Bohler N690 is a premium stainless steel with excellent stain resistance, it still benefits from regular maintenance. Clean the blade thoroughly after exposure to salt water, moisture, or organic material, and apply a light coat of oil periodically to protect the steel. Made in USA with imported steel.
