TOPS T4 Mini Tracker - Tom Brown Survival Knife with 1095 Carbon Steel & Black Linen RMT Micarta

TOPS Knives released their T4 Mini Tracker as the smallest member of the Tom Brown Survival knife family. This tiny but almighty fixed blade arrives with 1095 high carbon blade steel, TOPS' signature epoxy-based traction coating, black linen micarta, and red liners. The Mini Tracker provides a nice EDC option for those who enjoy the survival knife theme, but still want a compact carry.
Its high quality, tactile Kydex sheath, and TOPS survival whistle make this knife a complete package. In my video, I also compare my personal TOPS Mini Tracker to its premium version that arrives with RMT sculpted "Rocky Mountain" handle scales.

That was an excellent review, thank you. What you said made perfect sense.

Thanks Justin! I’m happy you like it! 😎

Great and honest review again. Agree with on many things about this one. Tracker is a blade which I don't have anything against but also one of the last choices for me and especially in this size. Plus I don't see any use of these T-Rex wannabe serrations on the spine.
Again, awesome review! 👊🏼

Thanks Mafro! 😍
Hahah T-rex wannabe. Well, in theory that serrated part could break down some wood that you can ignite when you build your camp. It is also nice if you wanna carve notches into the wood. I am kind of an experienced camper and in my opinion the blade could function. But I can't apply large enough force with a 3 finger grip because half my hand is off the scales.

We all have a little crazy in us so I can understand your purchase…. but you bought 2. Just busting’ your chops. I didn’t find this knife Interesting at all but my craziness wants the Topps American Trail Maker. I don’t know what I would do with it but it looks funky good to me.
On another note I own one Fox knife, a Vox Core, and it has terrible detent. Nothing much keeping it closed. Hopefully that’s not normal but it’s turned me off on Fox folders.
Thanks for the entertaining review.

Thanks, Jim! I try my best! The Trail Maker looks pretty badass and it comes with a very interesting sheath solution because a screw holds it in the Kydex. But be warned it weighs about 19 oz. I know what you mean - many of my Italian knives have detent problems and my biggest issue is that Italian manufacturers usually ignore my warranty tickets. Probably I do not send them enough pinched finger emojis. 🤌🤌🤌😆

[@jimshort9266]

lol. I didn’t even know that emoji existed. I love it.

Where’d you get the brass bead?

Audacious Concept is the brand. I usually see them on BladeHQ and Lamnia. But they also have their own website. 🎃
