The Braza Bro EDC tool may not be the largest knife, but it more than makes up for it in its compact size and incredible utility. Designed to improve the mini knife market this compact blade doesn't sacrifice features or quality in creating a small but useable tool. While the small size may make the blade seem uncomfortable the designers were quick to keep that in mind so they built the grip to work ideally with the first three fingers. Jumping is featured on the top of the handle and a slight recess on the spine ensures the thumb has a place to sit.
The blade of the Braza Bro features a unique design that brings together several common blade shapes into a single design. The belly of the Braza Bro features a drop point design which allows for amazing general use and simple sharpening. The spine of the blade follows a classic harpoon shape for improved control. The slope of the blade is a modified sheepsfoot leaving a sharper edge and tip. Finally, a tanto straight grind was utilized for the tip to give the blade a more tactical appearance.
