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.
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.
@@BoDiddlydodah no tom brown stole the design from a man who took it to him and he was going to sell it at his school till he got the price. Tom had no role in the design of the knife he only tested it. Tom after telling the man it was to expensive took the very knife that man designed and got others to try and make it for him without giving credit where credit is due. Look at utahknifeworks
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.
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.

Why? From what I understand this is a replica of the original
