Hey Brother, I love the Brown knives, but I think the "Tops" knives are too much for too little. My family pioneered in TN. My great-grandfather was the first white man born in TN. William Russell-Bean. His mother, my great grandmother was Lydia Russell-Bean, was taken captive by the Cherokees. We founded Bean Town and Bean Tavern. Enjoy camping and hunting like you guys. Thanks for defending 2A. I got a Spanish version, Jeo-Tec too beautiful to use. This is 1/2 that knifes price. This seeems to be a beater ecd knife.
Dude thank you so much for sharing your family history! I absolutely loved reading all of that! I’m hoping to start a “pioneer” knife video soon! This knife does a great job of your typical EDC stuff and you can make it razor sharp bc it’s a hollow grind! I agree that the tops stuff is crazy priced, you can buy 6 good knives for the price of one! Thank you so much for commenting and watching and sharing your history! I love my Tennessee and I hope to see more of you on the channel and in other videos!
I absolutely love my Weyland Tracker. Super versatile, I can throw it, chop with it, skin deer, baton, the list goes on. I highly recommend the Weyland Tracker, especially if you can’t afford the Utah Knife Works Tracker, or Russon Tracker, I’d definitely go with a Weyland. Don’t buy the Tops Tracker. Tom Brown Jr is a criminal and a thief.
Just found you on here brother. I’ve watched a number of your videos. I appreciate what your doing by spreading the Word. Fixin to check into this knife. Semper Fi!
Good review. I’d like to get one in the future for some more tracker fun. I’ve been collecting trackers over the years. It as much as some I’ve seen, but love this knife design. The Weyland looks like a solid knife.
For the prices knives are going for, this one is certainly worth it just in the fact it gives you a different experience with a knife all together! Also thanks for watching and commenting! If you haven’t already, subscribe! Trying to grow this puppy good so I can start giving away sone knives! Thanks brother!
This is a great video, I own 2 Tom Brown trackers , the SXB and the regular size tracker like the one you have. Both great knives and if Weyland is watching they’d be wise to fix the saw on their tracker to be as efficient or better than the one on the Tom Brown. Man videos like yours is the reason smart companies improve their products, and sorry ones don’t last because they didn’t take note’s. Once again thank you for sharing a great video.
I sincerely enjoy mine and the customer service is really great! I’m glad there is an economical option! I always sweat when I have to leave a two or $300 knife laying around the campsite! This one I don’t feel bad, and I’m not scared to use it! Thanks for watching in commenting and welcome to the channel!
@@samaelmartinus3273 blade is amazing great value. Favorite knife I own hands down. The gut hook is sharp as fuck. Sharpened the main blade cause I like my shit sharp. But overall a great outdoors knife. Don’t go anywhere without it.
Hey my brother, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. I enjoy the fact that you took the time to watch it and comment on it. Thank you for your support.
Just got a Tom Brown but started with the Weyland…. The Tom brown is a beast of a tool. The wetland is probably better if you are using one a lot. I don’t know. Obviously if you can afford the TB definitely get that one. However the Weyland will def do. I hate buying shit that’s made in China but if I stopped buying shit made in China half the shit I own would need to get thrown out.
I handle a knife differently than many inexperienced individuals, so it’s held up well. I think the biggest concern you will have giving it to students of your camp and it being issued repeatedly is … How it is sharpened. An inexperienced person can damage the gut hook quite easily so you may want to dedicate one person to sharpening (at least of that portion) of the blade(s)
the saw is for notching wood for trap triggers and other stuff like that well if i had this its what i would use it for it still wouldn't make nice 7 notches i still think the saw on these knives is to wide for that but i think when tom brown put his thoughts on the design of this knife i think its what it was intended for well thats my 2 cents about it being a woods man my self still as being a woods man my self i still don't like this blade profile many do great video have you seen the warvio models and bushmaster trackers the bushmaster one is the same company who made the first russe tom brown tracker knives they were made under the untied cutlery brand in 1980 you should check those bushmaster ones out i haven't seen any reviews on them yet there pretty affordable and made in America as well with a price tag of 89 msr and there made from 1095 steel like the tops version great video sir iv been eye balling these wayland and bushmaster version as well great video im a poor boy i wish i could afford one of these knives its out of my budget even the wayland
Hey Doug! I have indeed seen that one! I haven’t had a chance to touch and feel, but from the reviews I’m watching I’d say it’s pretty high up there in the budget quality tracker!!
I like the more pronounced quarter round (gut hook) on the Weyland. I had nothing but good experiences with their settlers tools, so I may have to give this one a day in court.
The big thing is that it’s actually sharpened! A lot of my budget ones fail here miserably! Thanks for watching and commenting! I’ve been eyeing their settlers tools too!
@@gustifer0311 I will say that one thing I think the settlers tool could use his to be opened up on the back side, opposite The Cutting Edge of the scotch eye. And or keep some beeswax handy to keep things slippery.

Good video brother but I need you or someone to help me understand that saw blade on the back. Surely it has a purpose😊 other than sawing bc I can’t get it to saw even a small limb. Maybe the company can help answer it.
It’s not really a saw. It’s better for creating feathers or making small notches. I have a small short in my video collection that shows proper use of the “saw” .
Mine is supposed to be here by Tuesday , I can say you've already passed the amount of abuse i would normally put on any knife so, i should be in good shape with mine .
@@gustifer0311 yes , it's very nice . i took a #320 diamond sharpener to it for a minute for the paper cutting edge better for feather sticks . the sheath is a bit soft but, i can live with it. For that price it's a Really good deal.
@@killjoy8914 didn’t show this in the video, but turn the knife upside down and push the sawblades down your feather stick to create several different curls. Try that out and tell me what you think about it.
michal thanks for watching and commenting! At first i was surprised and thought the same thing. But i can honestly say i am having a pleasant experience with the knife. Once sharpened, it bites like a crocodile. The good thing about hollow blades is that they are extremely easy to sharpen. While its hard for any knife to stand up to the TOPS, this is a much closer comparison to some of the similar knives that are our there for way less money! Ultimately, us woodsmen must decide and know how to use and pick our tools for the best situation! Whats your favorite tracker knife?
@@gustifer0311 Thx for the answer! Well I’ve only had a chance to try out my Boker mini and fullsize trackers (Dave Wenger design) and I have to say they are absolutely awesome!
@@BaritoneMike I have a lot of fun with them and they really are unique and look cool. I’ve done bad reviews on knives as well and I try to be as thorough as I can so people know what they are getting.
I bought a budget Tracker off Amazon and broke it the first test I gave it. It was like $40 so it didnt really hurt my pockets, I sort of expected it to break however, i was not expecting it to break on the very first baton 😂 the thing chipped immediately. I was shook. Ive had gas station specials that were more heavy duty. The thing about tracker knives is at a glance they look crazy and tough, the notch serrations give it what I call Rambo knife syndrome. Anytime someone sees a knife with spine serrations they think theyre special forces now and look tough. The reality is if its not a Tops or Weyland, Tracker its probably gonna be trash. Warivo, GCS, Susa, poshland, any knife maker that advertises their knife as an art piece and not an actual tool is a red flag. If they push Damascus steel, another red flag. When cheap knives are advertised as Damascus, it really means they just threw together a bunch of cheap metals they found around the shop. So thats also a red flag for me. And this should go without saying but here i am saying it.. almost everything made in China is pretty much trash. Im not saying everything, but damn near enough for me to never trust something from china unless i get the metal tested and verified. They lie about their materials all the time. And they use trick advertising, sponsors that dont know shit about steel to promote their product. China, Lithuania, India, fucking scam centers of the world.
Lmao. You tell me brother. You outta watch my video on this Pakistani Bowie I bought. I lied to myself for months convincing myself it would be OK to buy it and when I did oh did I receive the thrashing are so deserve for trusting Pakistani steel and marketing! More like Suck-istan

The saw is also good for breaking wire, but that saw may need to be honed up a bit more for easier notching
