- Really enjoyed this blade, I'm going to say it's worth the money personally. Keep an ear out for when the fixes are complete on Bokers end. #bushcraft #knife #tracker
I’d definitely love to see the pilot after they make the improvements
This is a shame, knowing so many people were looking forward to this release. Hopefully it all works out for those who purchased. Great seeing you here in tube and looking forward to more of your content here. 💪🏼🙌🏼🌲
I'm a big fan of Tracker. I wrote the whole article about the official history of the designe. Not many people knows the dark side of the story. I was more than happy to buy the big trucker from Boker. As soon as I got it I understood why they were selling it for only 60£ at that time. The project is good but the knife is bad. The main (front) grind is not flat. They put double hollow grind! They covered it with thick layer of paint so it can't be seen on the pictures. The secondary edge is hollow grind as well. The spine is thick but high hollow grind on the edge is a joke for a trucker idea and for a hard working knife. The knife has a terrible balance. It's handle heavy. Useless as a chopper with that blade size. The steel 1095 sounds good but the heat treatment must to be an issue as it was difficult to sharpen. The knife came so dull that it could not cut a paper. I don't know if they improved anything as they pushed the price to 120£ now. The serial nr on mine is 1230 so it gives me the idea that they knew about some problems from the beginning but still decided to sell bad run for a half price. I was ready to buy the micro version as I'm a fan but when I saw your video I realised that after a year of experience with big trucker they are still doing the same mistakes. As I can see on the video it's clear that main edge is not flat grind. Paint marks on the edge after you regrind it are a clear proof. The handle is not glued and pinned properly and it's important with 1095 steel. Thank you for good video.
I always appreciate your input. You and I have very similar taste.
Loose pins is a good reason to upgrade the scales.
Great vid! Definitely gonna look into the pilot (I assume it's also made by wegner/ boker?
Yep the pilot video was the one I watched that had loose scales also
🔥
👍👍👍👍
Any updates on the scale issue?
The designer has put some videos up on his IG boker also went with hardware you can tighten up for the 2024
do you have a video of all the bracelets you wear? do they have survival purposes ?
I dont, but I'll shoot one most have uses, but some are sentimental
Any further info if they addressed the handle issue?
I'm not sure braw, I can ask Dave Wenger at bladeshow
Did you get to talk to him in Atlanta?
