I know there's a lotta' hate for the Trackers. But, whether one of my TOPS TBT-1s, or one of my Barky Trakkers, I ALWAYS have one in my truck bag. When the sun and temps start to dip, and I'm all alone on a Ranch in South Texas (*and start to hear every "scary" noise 20" away), I have never felt under-knived with one of 'em. With one of my Trackers (*Trakkers), and a few Vaseline-dipped cotton balls, I have wood, fire, and comfort within a few short minutes. Gread vid. Thanks.
Damn dude. Great video! That's one hell of a tool, and it looks amazing. You scared me with the copper, but that A2 has clearly been handled properly to get some serious performance. I would have to agree, I think its the most impressive rendition of the tracker design so far. Awesome job
I am distrustful of Berk River and DLT production control. Occasionally, knives were not built more than a year after the pre-order, and production orders are not on a first-come, first-served basis. It is completely unknown what they prioritize in production. It looks beautiful in terms of price, but the quality is not very good. If you care about the sharpness, re-sharpening is indispensable.
I own the Bark River Trakker with black/orange G10 handle scales and it's a beast of a survival knife. I own also a Schanz WSK (Wilderness Survival Knife). Both knives are really good interpretations behind the design philosophy. The leather sheath of the Trakker is good but I will build a kydex sheath for the knife. The Bark River Hunters Axe is also really nice, the smal axe splits wood surprisingly well and it's a good chopper too. I have the Hunters Axe with orange G10 handle scales. One of the best chopping knives beside the TOPS El Chete I know, is the Bark River Ja-Nap, it's a chopping and splitting beast of a knife... and of course I own the Ja-Nap with orange G10 handle scales.
Impresionante tracker! Lo bueno del acero A2 es que con unas pasadas en el cuero le devuelves la vida al filo! Disfrútalo amigo! Sigues agrandando la colección con hermosas piezas!
Muchas gracias Lucas. Me impresionó el resultado. Yo pensé que con la tubería de cobre iba a sufrir daños. Pero ha sido uno de los mejores que he probado.
The quote that fits the Tracker/Trakker the most would be. "A Jack of all trades, but a master of none." But still a great knife to own! Keep up the great work, brother!
Interesting. I just received my BR Tracker and noticed that it’s within 1/4” and 1oz. of the Gransfor’s Wilderness Hatchet. The knife being the smaller, lighter blade. Someone has to beat me to a comparison video...Hint, Hint...
I got nervous again with this one too when you were chopping that close to your hand. Trakker's aren't for me, but this one is sure a beauty. I'm a fan of white handles. When you get tired of your Tundra, let me know. :-)
Hahaha I was hoping you didn't saw this video,because it was definitely riskier than the one before. But thank you for the support and for keeping watching. I will let you know if I decide part ways with the Tundra. I love the white handles as well.
@@ariadanzig434 I've watched several of his vids. (*His channel is becoming one of my new faves) And, I can say, beyond the shadow of doubt, that he knows what he's doing. Like him, I use and play with quite a few blades, and am a bit embarrassed to admit that I can get a little sloppy with 'em, now and again. You know how it goes, you work with them, get a little comfortable as the minutes pass, and then have a fresh hole in your skin before you know it. It's happened to me more times than I'd like to admit, and I have a few scars to prove it. 😄
Good review, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen this knife being offered before. Beautiful for sure, but must be heavy for long term carry...? I’m considering the William Collins WCSK, knife has nothing but positive reviews as a workhorse. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I can't give a option on the WCSK but I been eyeballing it for a while. I have 2 WC and they are great. This one is in the heavy side, but it compensate it being a great chopper for its size.
Just got mine in the mail today and I agree that it is the best on the market. Doesn’t have the notching saw on the back but, I never used it on the original one.
I asked for the liners for looks. I would have had the same thickness without the liners. They add the black liners to get it at the thickness they want it.

@user-ms2mk2rm3t LOL. I've been using Dave's knives since the early 90s. If you don't know why they're the best, you need to buy one. It's the difference between a Ferrari and an old pickup truck. The worst is the Tops version. By far.
thank you nice review and beautiful collection 😳😍 ,but you see almost same price between TB Tracker and the bigger Bark river Tracker ,whats wrong with TB ? is just a name on blade , nothing against you but the business
Thank you. The main difference is the material. A2 is better in many aspects compared to 1095. And the handmade finish compared to the Tops I guess. Nothing wrong with the TB tracker. I have one of the T3 limited edition and is awesome.

If you get a chance check out Ed Martin. He makes a great tracker style knife. I plan on getting one from him, Dave Wenger, Caleb Cox and Bark River. I’ve got a Beck and a Linger.
I definitely will pick up one from him eventually. I need a Beck for sure. I'll look at the other 2 maker you mentioned. Have you looked at Packniv knives on Facebook. He makes killers tracker as well.

That's the quote I was looking for. Thank you.
The full phrase is “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” It was a compliment.

Very impressive knife and pretty too. Nice job on the video.
Just bought one today. Can’t wait to get it in and try it out.
You will have a lot of fun.
U won't need another large knife for a good while,it's an amazing blade :)
Great info... thanks you

I'm glad that you are happy with it. I would like a saw spine on this one though. Seems long enough to be useful.
Gutsy test with a brand new BRK Trakker, cutting the copper tube. 👍
Thank you!
thank you nice review 👍😉
Again, a good and nice video!!! You have a good taste in the blades!!! 👍
Thanks brother.
Do you know why tracker knives have the shape they do? I've been looking for an answer and can't find much.
Well,... Awesome Video! Great Knife! You sold me on it, I just Ordered one from DLT Trading. Excellent Review!!!
Thanks brother. I'm sure you will enjoy the blade.
6:20 waiting for it to slip and cut his hand off. Safety first dude
There r grooves in the handle for preventing such issues.mine is in g10 slippery AF but no issues at all
I understand that you asked the factory to include a red liner to make the handle thicker. Is that correct?
I asked for the liners for looks. I would have had the same thickness without the liners. They add the black liners to get it at the thickness they want it.
@@thecavemanknivesreview.8097 thanks for your reply
Awesome Knife !
Awesome video once again !!
Thank you sir!
Holy crap 😳 dude chopping like that with your hand so close is really dangerous.
It was. Next time I'll get a longer piece. Thank you for watching.

where can i buy this white handle knife
A Dave Beck Tracker is the best on the market, period.
Jack Crow has spoken now everyone throw away your Trakkers if it isnt a "Dave Beck"

This is my first A2 steel knife, how do you store it? What oil do you use?
Mineral oil. And I keep it on the sheath. The sheath oi treated with waterproof solution, so it doesn't get moisture on the knife.
