The steel they use is 1055

I will get this knife and give it a review as well. I do own a no 29 knife and I have had it for 3 years and it has gone through a lot of use and it is a work horse so I do know Jeo Tec does make a good knife.

Wrap the handle in hockey tape.

Hey nice video i would love to see a video on how how did the work on the back saw teeth

Hockey tape on that handle fixes the slick micarta problem. I put it on several of my knives with the slick handle issue. Nice modifications on the tracker

If anything the Gerber Double Down folding Machete reminds me of the Cold Steel XL Espada, both of are which really are survival Bowie style folding knives.

I liked your video. I was looking for reviews thinking about getting one of the cold steel katana machetes. Debating on which one,the 18 or 24 inch. I live in the country and it looks like it would be a lot of fun . I'm astonished at some comments here made by people who obviously don't understand what having fun is out in the woods,thats crying about how nobody should buy one of those especially for bushcraft, like omg 😅. While they sit in their little apartment in the city or mommy and Daddys basement 😅. They obviously missed the whole point of having fun with something like a katana machete and that yes if need be, could be used for some fun bushcraft 😅😂

Just wait until those covid vax zombies start roaming the earth! And everyone else will wish they had one 😅😂

1055

thanks! was looking to see the 10x15 in action!

Its a great knife i wish i could find another one. Good reveiw

I ordered one today. I was planning on dying the fly too like you show here. Your video has given me more confidence. I have some dye experience. What color rit dye did you use? Dye type and water amount? Thank you for the video. I'm planning on using both Rit chocolate brown for synthetic and dark brown for natural together. I was considering throwing in a splash of graphite for synthetic to darken it up a bit. Going to paint the acu around the base of the tent with rust-oleum camouflage flat earth brown too. I would appreciate your thoughts! Thank you for the video northern neighbor 👍🏻

That helped a whole lot, Thanks. I was just fixing to get out the drimel. Makes sense now. Great info..👍

Did you do a video on refining the notch serrations?

Hey brave, are you going to come back?

The viking hand-axe seems better...

Glad I found this video. I've been wanting to buy this stock, but all the previous videos I found made it seem like too much of a pita to deal with. It seemed odd to me that a company would make a product for a specific firearm, but not make it so it fit.🤷😅 Always a right and wrong way to do everything. Thanks for showing the way!👍🏻🍻 Update: bought the stock and followed your steps. Fit like a glove! Didn't even have to tilt it upright and tap it on the floor. Everything went together perfectly and it looks great with the Savage 20rd mags!

That's not an Adirondack setup, that's a plow point. I have the 10x10 and it's a great tarp for the price. Contemplating purchasing a 2nd one just in case

I really like the modifications you did on that knife. The first thing I would have to do is make that tooth a bit deeper like you did. I have the Jeo Tec no. 37 and I absolutely love that knife now I'm thinking of either getting this one or the No. 39. I think Jeo Tec is a great brand and they would be a lot more successful if they gave us the option to choose what scales and sheaths to get with our knife. They are starting to do that with certain models and I would love to get micarta yute on my 37. I think you'd like that version of micarta because it's grippier. Anyway I'm very happy with my Jeo Tec knife, It came very scary sharp, and even though I just bought it a month ago, I have been using it every single day and I haven't even sharpened it yet, a couple passes on a honing rod, yes, but haven't sharpened. Jeo Tec would be my favorite knife company if they would make knives in the 7-9 inch range and even though my 37 is 6.5 inches, it is my favorite knife, MV58 is highly stainless and I clean it after every use and looks shiny like the day I bought it. I live in Manitoba and given the winters here, 1095 gets very brittle in -40+ weather, that said, D2 and MV58 steels prevail up in here.

Excellent video. Can you please mention the name of that particular tracker knife again. Thank you brother.

Awesome review and exactly what I was looking for! I think this will pair really well with my Silky Gomboy in my Get home/Bug out bag. Lightweight and compact, but capable. Cheers from FL!

Does it beat Fiskars X7?

I bet that tree was full of fatwood if you know what to look for

I own this. And it’s my favorite 👌🏽

Love the Tracker Blades very much But: I pefer the Handle smooth on the Palm and more „Grippy“ for the Fingertips. Just my thoughts. Happy New year from Germany

Very cool video. I just got the Tops Tracker knife the other day. I am so happy with it, and seeing your reco helps confirm my investment.

I don’t understand why everyone try’s fire steel.? you steel came with a striker … use it. No reason to not have it with it and I see you have yours also.

When you buy a specialized knife like a tracker it helps if you do some research and training on how to properly use the blade not wing it and form an opinion on user error. This is like buying a gun and not learning the operation of the gun. All in all a tracker style is not a beginner knife it take training. Love your videos thank you. The one you have is a band wagon knife I would try the original 1981 design that Tom brown stole.

*_Not an install video. I fully understand it. But such a low quality, non interactive video. Why even make it? All you did is explain the process. You need to show it as well_*

How’s the stew holding up?

The only logical reason for buying it is to add a cheap but durable sword to one’s weapons collection. It is wildly impractical for anything else and simply comical for bushcraft.

I'm a big Cold Steel fan but I would never buy this. This is more of a toy to play with in the back yard. Something affordable for looks. But you were fair with it. ❤ I'm going to sub to see what you got. If I were you I would try to keep videos like this under 10 minutes. Cut anything unnecessary out. Direct. I think you'll get more views. I hope you have camping videos where you actually use your gear. We'll see....

That knife costs a fortune here in Italy...but I bought an Ontario one, much better :)

Hullo Sir. Even if you complain so much, both you and the knife perform pretty well. Speaking about the "heavy chopping", a bouncing log of that kind disperses easily a quarter of the kinetic energy (pressure per square centimeter, if you prefere) that you apply, and this bouncing has consequences also on the grip. Speaking about my personal experience, the best gripping fealing is related to boar leather strips around the tang, very expensive and not equally lasting; micarta is not so expensive and last a lot; also wooden grips, with notchs, are a good choice, better than micarta at least for me. Regarding the "fine chopping", every log or branch without the bark (or with a thin bark) in a wet or humid scenario gives that sensation of ricochet. On the other aspects, I am not able the express opinions because I am not an expert about Tracker knives. Many thanks for sharing this beautiful and best regards from Italy.

It's good for home defense like here in Canada where you cannot own a firearm

good video

this dude can swing a sword and knows where the sweet-spot is on flexible blades...do yo do competition cutting with longswords or something?

Hello. Great review. It really looks like a good knife. I can give you an advice: when you try to stick a knife like at 16:37 , place your thumb on the tip of the handle so your hand won't slip on the blade and you won't hurt yourself (even tho you have gloves and thats nice). I will go stealth camping for 2 days with a friend, tomorrow. Wish me to find quiet place :)

Great video! Thanks for the heads up on letting the color of the tent age before dying. Would have been fun to see an untreated ICS tent set up next to the dyed tend. To compare the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of the camouflage.

good video, pls make hultafors hatchet review

Replace cord with fire cord

ninja get lost in woods. otherwise……

There's a comment that you can always make something cheaper that looks the same from a distance but of course the difference is in the detail. I've a genuine Hubba NX1 and it has stood up to some very adverse conditions camping on the Pennines next to Englands highest pub, the famous Tan Hill Inn. Strong winds and heavy rain didn't cause me any issues.

Friend, take those scales off strip that garbage off the blade put a little oil on it it’ll be beautiful. I could totally imagine how you feel paying $280 and not being happy but you can’t let them control your joy. Take that knife and make the best of it and you’ll be happy.

Friend I bought mine and carbon steel, because I like carbon steel. You can sharpen it with a stone or piece of slate. Both of my grind lines were uneven. I kept a knife anyway but it bothered me after 18 months. I finally called them up and told them they told me to keep the knife in 48 hours. I had a brand new one on my doorstep and it was perfect because they probably gave me the best one of the bunch.

Ever ACTUALLY survived anything? Lol nerd gimmick!

Thanks 👍

The main issue with this machete is it doesn't have a machete-like forward weight balance. The sharpness is not a problem. The real one is the steep grind angle. The profile of the blade should be flatter. The two-hand grip is a bit too long and disrupts the wrist swing. It also further diminishes the forward balance of the machete. Also, I abused my CS Katana Machete a lot yet I couldn't bend it on the wood. It is a case of inconsistency in the hardening process, as it should work the way the spring does.

Es ist ein interessantes Werkzeug, aber gehe ich damit in den Wald werde ich doch vom nächstbestem Jäger erschossen!

Thanks, how tall are you boss
