|
Individually Serialized
Each knife comes with its own unique serial number and is engraved with the Tracker School logo as well as Tom Brown's signature. |
 |
|
Black Powder Coat
This knife is finished with a rustproof, non-reflective powder coat. |
 |
|
Full Tang Design with Micarta Slabs
The Tracker features a full tang design, meaning the blade and handle are one continuous piece of steel. Micarta slabs (or handle scales) are securely attached to both sides of the steel blank. |
 |
|
Three Position Handle
The handle of the Tracker Knife has three distinct dips that allow for three different grip positions. Gripping farther toward the rear of the knife provides greater power for heavy-duty work such as chopping and splitting. Alternatively, the user can hold the handle farther forward for maximum control during tasks that require a high degree of precision. |
 |
|
Textured Thumb Groove
The top of the knife features a lightly textured area where the thumb can rest while performing detailed carving. |
 |
|
Chopping / Scraping Edge
This is one of the most useful parts of the Tracker Knife. The rounded front edge is excellent for chopping, scraping, and certain carving tasks where the straight edge cannot reach. |
 |
|
Straight Carving Blade / Draw Knife
The straight portion of the blade is used for detailed carving. Alternatively, the knife can be turned around and pulled toward the user with both hands in a "draw knife" configuration. The draw knife function is used to remove large amounts of material while maintaining close control. |
 |
|
Quarter Rounder
The curve where the chopping edge meets the straight edge is called the quarter rounder. It can be used for many different specialized carving tasks, such as finishing fine points and scraping arrow shafts. |
 |
|
Sawback Edge
The sawback edge can be used to cut through wood or simply make notches for various primitive trap components. |
 |
|
Wire Breaker
The notch closest to the tip of the knife is cut deeper so it can function as a makeshift fence wire breaker. It works by inserting the wire into the notch and then rapidly moving the knife from side to side. |
 |
|
Lanyard Hole
The base of the knife handle features a hole that easily accommodates a lanyard for those who prefer to secure the knife to their wrist while using it. |
