This knife has eluded me for over a decade now. Every time I’d get ready to make the purchase, I’d talk myself out of it. I’ve got one coming and I’ve found this video tremendously helpful.
You have a golden eye for choosing section and anle for your camera. And I know no one else who is cutting his videos this carefully. Congrats and thanks again for this. Take care! Ralf
Thanks again Ralf! 🙂 It is really great to hear that you notice things like that. The editing process can be a lot of work, but it can be fun at times too.
Innovative uses of the Tracker, IMHO, esp. in making the birds nest bundle. I would have never looked at the knife, and thought "What can I do with this, turned blade side up?" Kudos.
This guy knows what he is doing. Don’t run out and buy this knife thinking you are going to be able to do the same with it. This is the best video on this knife.
Thanks for the leverage trick about half way thru video ,but then again you are always thinking outside the box. Great video. I also highly respect your time conservation too . Keep um coming dude !
Really have been enjoying your videos. I've been binge watching them at the end of the day. Great quality b roll very well put together. It's not often that a channel just grabs me. Yours does! As a creator I watch how a video is edited and filmed along with the content. Great job!
I remember when I used to bash the Tracker....... Then I attended a local survival class. One of the other students had a tracker. Even the instructor poked fun at him. Until this guy started to destroy wood that was wearing the rest of us out, and made some of the best damn feather sticks any of us had ever seen. I asked if I could use his tracker. He was only too happy to pass it over. I used it to my a slit wood fire. Easiest fire I had made in a long time. When we got back to cell coverage, I ordered one off of Amazon. I always have a good folding knife on me, but the tracker is 110% my field knife!
When I first saw a Tracker I thought it was a gimmick but as I’ve starting looking into it I now really understand the design. I think it’s the best survival design and I’m looking (that’s saving money for) into getting one 😊 Great video, really shows off the knife’s design.
Greetings from the Coast Range of Oregon! Excellent video. Your placement of the hearth board "burn hole" is quite a distance back from the leading edge of the board, which makes the notch longer and wider than most I make. If you have time, I'd love to hear more about your notch design. Thanks for all your effort.
Hi Gary! I've played around with a lot of different notch styles and cut variations depending on the wood I'm using, but you're right.; generally I put my divots a bit further back than most folks. My reasoning for this is that a larger notch will hold more dust which I think helps insulate things and also gives me a larger ember to make up for wet bundle materials.
I have watched your videos with the Tracker probably several hundred times now. Who did the regrind on it? I'd love to see a video of some up close pics and details about it. Thank you much!
faultroy yeah. I agree. You couldn’t give it to me...well that’s not true. If I had a forge, I’d take one. I’ve chopped down some saplings with a knife once-with my Essee 6- I’ll stick to my hand hatchet for that. That experience left me baffled as to why anyone would not want to carry one. There is no knife in existence that can chop nearly as well as a good hatchet. And I keep thinking; how in the HELL do you sharpen that knife?? It looks like in most users’ hands, it does a lot of things fairly poorly.
@@petrosspetrosgali why not take a chainsaw instead? That would chop trees even better... This is not a hatchet, this is a survival knife, I don't understand why people don't understand this. AndI would choose this over a hatchet anyday of the week in a survival situation, since it can do so many more than a simple hatchet. But yeah, a hatchet definitely chops better than a knife...
Yea trackers are fun but when there high carbon steel you have to keep them oiled & sharp just as much as you use them . I absolutely love my tracker it may not be made by Tom Brown Jr but it works just as well . I have a Poshland T-61 high carbon steel with a brown jean micarta handle with hallowed out brass pins , it’s nice & well balanced I even can throw it from 24 feet at a end grain targets & make it stick . I,ve had it for 2 years .
Hello, my dear Congratulations great channel !!! you really demonstrate technique of how to use the Knife Tracker, a Survival situation really of all the channels I see ?? only your really showed extraordinary ability with Tracker knife.
Thanks Raposa! 🙂 I'm a total beginner when it comes to the Tracker. Here's a link to a real Tracker pro if you're interested...ua-cam.com/users/OperationalExtras
I love watching your videos! Always looking forward for the next one! Excellent display of skill! The knife is a modified Tops Knives TBT1. It’s not mine, I just recognize who’s it is...
It looks like Field Expedients Tracker knife, the bevels have been modified. To give it more slicing style of a cut, and less of a wedge style of cut. If that makes sense...
Considering that is a borrowed knife, in your hands it looks like you've used it every day for a good few years. Shows your consummate skill and the best features of the tracker off brilliantly.
These vids are the best teaching guide to friction fire making I have seen any where almost makes me think I can do it, what are u using to hold the spindle on top ? Thanks great vids love the background and the dog
It is not the useless movie prop that some people like to portray it as and the features of the knife can be a real asset in the right hands, but I still prefer a more conventional blade shape.
I’ve been running mine for over 15 years, it’s my go to for backpacking (worth all 2lbs 😂). I’m in process of doing a scandi regrind. Definitely not an easy knife to sharpen let alone regrind. Think I need to take a dremel Stone to the guy hook/ feather stick hook. Any suggestions?
Great video, very skilled. I have been debating on getting the tracker, I have the cfk variant and do like it, but it's not the TB tracker.. is this your preferred blade or do you suggest more traditional for an overall Survival/ bushcraft blade? I don't mind the dirt time to lean to use this correctly, but don't want to shell out the 200$+ if it's not.. in your skilled opinion.. worth the money and time.
Thanks MP15! The knife is on loan to me from a friend and I've only ended up using it a half dozen times or so. It's a really cool design with some neat features, and the more I use it, the more I like it. However, I'm still at the point where the varied grind is in the way more than it is helpful, and I think I'd prefer a more conventional knife shape overall. That could change with time though and everybody is different, so I'm definitely not trying to talk you out of trying one.
NW Primate Thank you, I think I will give it a shot. If I can't master it. I can trade it. The more knowledge and skills under the belt the better. Good luck to you.
The Tracker is crazy... on Loan? As in, you have to give it back? Couldn't do it...lol. Great demo of the versatility of the thing... Awesome burn down too Brother... Be well
What are your thoughts on the Tracker and would you get one? You're quite adept with it, Mr. Black had quite a video collection of him using his Tracker but he has seemed to fallen off the Earth. Would love to see how others sharpen their Trackers.
Just got my first tracker! What's your overall opinion about this tool. I can see its many aspects and uses, providing in combination with yourself its a capable option.
+ NW Primate - some questions for u: 1) whats the brand n model number of the video camera u used to film this? HD is so amazing. 2) any idea the blade length of the tracker knife u borrowed? must be popular because it comes in 4 different blade length sizes! Hope they will make it in an 8 or 10 inch some day. i know there is the Tops SXB similar design in 9.25" but that handle looks rough and i like the tracker design better. 3) what's the concave bump on the blade spine/back used for? thanks
Thanks! The camera is a cheap Canon SX610 HS. I don't know the length of the tracker off hand, but it is the original TBT, but was modified a bit by its owner. I don't know the idea behind that concavity, but I'm sure guys have figured out good uses for it. 🙂
What follows is going to sound like a commercial, but it is right up there at the top of my list of favorite knives. It seems like the perfect balance of a large and small knife. It's light enough to carry on my belt without bothering me, thin enough to carve without wishing I was using something else, long enough to split real pieces of wood with ease, and tough enough to take a real beating. The sheath is lightweight, tough, and great in the rain; the hand feels great in my hand, and it has a lifetime warranty backed by a company full of great people. Because of the fact that knives are very personal preference oriented items, I usually shy away from making recommendations, but I can't help but gush about how much I like this one.
This looks like a good knife used for wood. But tom brown Jr. Design it for all around knife. How is for filleting fish, and small game. Or breaking pelvis bone of elk?
This was a borrowed knife and I didn't get the chance to try on fish or game, but with practice and some ingenuity big knives can usually do small knife chores just fine.
That was truly one of the best if not the best use of a Tom Brown Tracker that I’ve ever seen . Anyone who says that this knife is worthless needs to watch this. You worked that thing like a Pro. I bet Tom Brown him self would give you a big 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Awesome job!!!!!!!! I will be subscribing to your channel.
It is a great knife and just a fun fact it was actually started by an individual with the last name of Russon in 1981 and he sent it to Tom and unfortunately he stole the design and made money from the knife 😕
It seems that in addition to the back and forth motion of the bow you also have an up and down motion that keeps the cord from rubbing on itself to avoid friction , am I wrong ? Please comment .
Great eye Gary! You're exactly right. Tilting the tip of the bow either up or down while drilling keeps the cordage from running over itself. It's not a big deal with paracord or bankline, but the edges of natural cordage will often abrade each other and snap it if you're not careful.
I have mixed feelings about this knife. It looks really cool. Tbh I've never used one, but I can see how it does the job of 3 different tools (knife, axe saw). As far as fine carving tasks go, I don't think it can do more than what say a Mora and a Bacho can do and still be around the same total weight.
I came across this Video while researching the Tom Brown T1 and to say the least i will buy this knife as soon as i can. I know you are a Fan of the Essee 6 but would you buy this knife?
I’m usually not the biggest fan of trackers but you sure know how to handle it well! Great video TY. BTW What´s the name of your beautiful doggy, if you don’t mind me asking... Sure looks very similar to my Lena when she was a pup...
I do like how you just show stuff in your videos without a bunch of superfluous explanations. Clearly showing how is really all that is necessary... great job!
All the VERY BEST!
Thanks Anthony. 🙂
Yes ,totally agree with you. His unspoken videos are nothing short of brilliant !
Would you buy one again?
Undoubtedly it is not the tool. It's those clever hands that wield it.
Thanks buddy!
FACT!
While the tool is important, and the Tracker is a great tool...
A man like this...
would figure out how to accomplish these same tasks with a spoon and leverage.
Very impressive 👏👏👏
Must be the happiest dog anywhere. And wow, this guy...incredible skills along with perseverance! Unbeatable combination.
Thanks A Smith! 🙂
Impressive man. True woodsman. And I ecco the rest. No useless narration. Well done.
Thanks Ozi :)
Thanks for posting this. It was really enjoyable to watch. I loved the fact whilst using the bow and drill you showed the realities of it and didn't just splice together footage to make it look like it worked in a hot minute. I also like there was no talking and not being one of those people who have just bought an item and they start talking about how it is the best tool ever. Thanks again!
This knife has eluded me for over a decade now. Every time I’d get ready to make the purchase, I’d talk myself out of it. I’ve got one coming and I’ve found this video tremendously helpful.
Right on 👍

Thanks Doug ☺️

Thanks Peter. I agree with the sentiment...it's a solid blade for sure, but I can do the same with a butter knife.
Finally, someone making curls the RIGHT way with this knife! These other demonstration videos on youtube have been killing me lol
Thanks for the leverage trick about half way thru video ,but then again you are always thinking outside the box. Great video. I also highly respect your time conservation too . Keep um coming dude !

Brilliant ,lovely to watch your skill with; a beauty of a knife. The knife just borders on being a mini machete. Thank You .

Love those feathersticks made with the knife, nice.
Thanks!
Great Videos with various instruments. Would you show how You fashion the upper end of the bow drill and socket sometime. Thanks
Thanks Tom! You can see me making the bearing block out of a piece of cottonwood bark at around 1:34 . I just get a little divot started with the tip.
Nice feather stick technique and a beautiful lab.
Thanks Michael!
Real versatile tool. Nice job with the fire. It's not easy to get a fire going in the PNW!
Thanks!
This was a very nice video. Just man, dog, and nature.

Thanks Vladimir :)
Great knife always has been,regardless of what all the keyboard warriors say.
I can't argue with that. 🙂

Awesome! So nice to see a knife video where u do more than just treat it like a axe
Whoo Hoo a good Ol Tom Brown. TOPS fan over here. Love their knives...
I've been playing with this loaner for a couple of months now and have been really enjoying.
You can get any of their knives at the Bladehq dot com for way less that directly from the manufacturer. I picked up two different knives.
Doing feathersticks is just awesome, kind of meditative. I love the tracker and pair it with a mora #1 exclusive and a saw.

Thanks Brandl! Have you tried using a round stone or file?
Half-heartedly. I got frustrated with my poor results. Your use of it has motivated me to try again.
Looks like you enjoyed playing around with this one man. It’s come tool for sure. Subbed bro 😎🔥🔥👍

Grest video, how did you do the regrind of tops Brown tracker.?
I borrowed this one from a buddy of mine. I'm not sure how he did it, but he definitely reprofiled it.
I love watching your videos! Always looking forward for the next one! Excellent display of skill!
The knife is a modified Tops Knives TBT1. It’s not mine, I just recognize who’s it is...
Thanks Jarrod! I figured one you would recognize it. Being unfamiliar with the TBT, I'm curious what modification you noticed.
It looks like Field Expedients Tracker knife, the bevels have been modified. To give it more slicing style of a cut, and less of a wedge style of cut. If that makes sense...
Whatever he did, it's working. 🙂

Good vid..👍 I admire your determination with the bow drill
Thanks Lone Survivor! 🙂
Simply brilliant 👍🏻

These vids are the best teaching guide to friction fire making I have seen any where almost makes me think I can do it, what are u using to hold the spindle on top ? Thanks great vids love the background and the dog
Thanks David! This time it was a piece of cottonwood bark that you can see at about 1:35, but my favorite bearing block is a piece of fatwood.
Super cool and helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
So do you like the knife, seems to me the sawblade on the back is more of a hinderence, but then I have never used one...
It is not the useless movie prop that some people like to portray it as and the features of the knife can be a real asset in the right hands, but I still prefer a more conventional blade shape.
Your survival spine is awesome.
Trackers a good knife...well done!...woods

I’ve been running mine for over 15 years, it’s my go to for backpacking (worth all 2lbs 😂). I’m in process of doing a scandi regrind. Definitely not an easy knife to sharpen let alone regrind. Think I need to take a dremel Stone to the guy hook/ feather stick hook. Any suggestions?
