In this review we are looking at another great knife from Boker: The Mini Plus Tracker. It is a most excellent piece of work #boker #trackerknife To purchase www.amazon.com/Boker-Tracker-...
Hey everyone! After further research of the tang, I have decided to send this back to the manufacturer. I believe this is a good knife but it would have be a light duty tracker knife. That’s just my thoughts. My first impression on this was blown away and I love the design but I have been hearing stories of this breaking. Therefore it’s not quite what I’m looking for. I think they should increase the tang and raise the price.
Thank you for the reviews on the various tracker knives as it is great information. I am looking at a lot of tracker knives and trying to figure out what will work best for me. Your videos on them is a big help in making the correct decision. Keep up the great work!!! Merry Christmas ya all!
I forgot to add, can you do an update on the various tracker knives as you use and test them? I would like to see how they hold up and see which ones are worth the money you pay for them and which ones are not. Many thanks in advanced.
Thanks for all your great reviews. I’m glad to see this one- I got the largerr version last week and really like it. Like you said in other videos- these tracker style knives can be very good defense knives too. The thick spine and weight forward blade makes for a real weapon- like a smaller kurki.
Yes thats my favorite too! Kukuris are great. My sister bought dad back one from nepal when she was working in the lepper colonies. Git given it by a maoist officer protecting the vilages.(opressing i say)
I'm glad you did this video now I'm good I don't want it now I don't like skeleton handle knives at all but very cool video old buddy it be fine for camp tasks but I figured it might be something being a boker plus knife good job bud
Thanks brother and yep fully understand. I almost didn’t get because of the skeleton tang. I wonder if that’s how they cut some of the cost? I bought this to hold me accountable to not throw it lol
@@411Outdoors yea you gotta be carefull. Some knives have welded tangs. And if your wacking it with a stick for a hammer you gotta do it directly over the thing your hitting; cos those tangs break. I don't think they temper the welds either. Are you a forged in fire fan? I like the demascus competitions. Specially balberrings in canister. Or chain oooooo chains great. But i find they forget to layer them properly so you get two grades of steel all jumbled up and they just look yuk
@@nathangrueber9834 You’d be shocked to know that I don’t watch that show very often but I have watched a lot of parts of it. One of the things on my bucket list is to forge my own blades
Ten fifty is good just right. Ive got a german solingen dagger (before victorinox bought them out). and it will wear your stone out before it sharpens just a pain in the butt.
I use for light duty matters since 1 year, the only issue is the coating that make the sharpening tricky.. therefore I ve removed all coating close to the edge, for heavy activity just play a small hatchet.
I'm usually a cold steel kinda dude but I must admit I have been entertaining the idea of purchasing this knife for awhile. You just sold that idea home to me. Great video great review brother keep it up 👍
Is it worth it? I have the warivo tracker (which I use for throwing) and I have the big cat black jaguar that I keep for camping and outdoors work. I really like the look of this boker, but not sure if it's worth the 110$ CAD price tag.
I have one. I bought one for like 50$ a year ago. I was pump as I love trucker design. My thoughts... the skeleton handle is a failure. It is not a kitchen/ligh duty knife by purpose. Its a camp knife but there is no way to batton it with out fear. I bought it before I saw test videos on yt and all my love was gone. I was in shock when I realised that few weeks later the price double! The funny thing is that full tang is easier and cheaper to manufacture. One cut less for Boker and customers will be happy. Well but they do not listen
@@411Outdoors are you a gat man? I make them and play them terribly. Play them i mean. Im doin a hollow body electric. Taken me ten years. I keep getting stuck on gettin things steam bent. And a whole 6ft sheet of curly maple vineer went walkies?? Its 70yrs old ive kept it 20. Hhhhhhh! Hows your internship going? Tune in to church of the eternally secure sime time on wed round 8pm or sunday round 9. Lukes great; renee roland is there check out her chanel. Shes pretty hard core on the biblical gospel. Save me from 28yrs of torment frim lordship salvatiin doctrine(calvanism). Im eternally greatfull to god for the freedom.
@@411Outdoors when i saw your wee knife shaped sorta like a spoon. I went ooooooooo!!! Shiny my precious. I admired dads since i was a child hes kept it in the box till i was 35. Gave it to me; razor sharp. But atmitedly knives dont really come sharp. I grind a clearance angle and a tiny cutting angle. Hollow grinding isnt realy anything to do with sharpness it just saves you a whole lotta time grinding that awefull clearance angle. Basicly same as chisels. Now ive finally got a linisher i can make my own slingshot knives. Basicly it looks like a pocket knife with two sissor handle loops built into the handle. Flick a button and they pop out like a butterfly knife. Unfortunately i cant make a switchblade knive in the handle cos thyr illegal. Dunno why? Yet slingshots arent??
a full tang doesnt mean it goes through the handle ..that is what tang means so this knife has a tang now for a full tang you need a massive solid piece which this kniefe has not its a skeleton tang
Does anyone else find these videos calming? Or am I just weird? The intro i find calming especially so

I like how the full size is 7" blade. Thats a great all around use size for a survival knife in my experience

Great idea I sure will do an update on them🙂👍
Thanks so much! And a very Merry Christmas to you 🙂🎄
Badass knife
Great video. I hesitated today on buying it but tomorrow I will own it. You were that convincing
Awesome! It’s def a beauty and has a great feel. I just wouldn’t throw it (not that you would haha)
Outstanding video
Nice review 👍

Yes sir🙂👍 i definitely they are a very scary defense/combat blade.. thanks my friend
Thank you my friend for your great TH-cam channel! 😊

@@nathangrueber9834 those blades rock for sure!

Would love to see that same Blade taken to the Next Level by having Knuckle Duster style Handles. Nice Blade.
That would be really cool👍
With a dremel tool and some patience (not enough haha) I turned a Kizer Baby into a sort-of small tracker today.
Yes i find the same. You gotta watch out for sharp transitions in the tang. Cos they break
Most definitely. Knowing what I know about the skeleton on this I will keep it in hand. It should be solid if you do that

@@nathangrueber9834 hahahaha!
Awesome knife! I don't have a tracker yet. I guess a rod is needed for sharpening part of the edge.
You’re 100 percent correct sir🙂👍
You may be interested in the Tops HKT. It’s definitely a unique design. Great review!
Thanks so much! I’ll take a look at that one
Cool blade man. I might have to get one. It would make one hell of a hole
For sure 🙂👍👍💯

Dad gave me one like this but it didnt have that wee hook in the cutting edge it was roundish
It took me a bit the more I looked at this design the more I fell for it. Especially when I got out doing some slicing with it one day
@@411Outdoors yea man show us the sharpening for it. What a pain? Youd wear the edges of your stone out
I'm usually a cold steel kinda dude but I must admit I have been entertaining the idea of purchasing this knife for awhile. You just sold that idea home to me. Great video great review brother keep it up 👍
I appreciate brother I think you’ll enjoy🙂👍

After some time of getting to know this now, I don’t think it’s worth the price because the tang in the handle is very skeletonized
Thanks for your opinion! Think I'll skip this one.

Yeah I ended up sending this one back because I just couldn’t handle the tang being so skeletonized
Yes lol lol I been thinking the same thing bud lol
😂💯👍
Is it good for cutting meat ?
Definitely
Can we get a update on the warivo
Yes sir 👍 I did a video a week ago called why the tracker knife is my favorite and I showcased it in that video and it is holding up very well
Mmmmmm knives
Tell me about it lol
@@411Outdoors haha its like slingshots and guitars it just gives you that oooooooo!! Feeling inside.
@@nathangrueber9834 😂😂😂👏👍 yes indeed

Can't find that here in Philippines 😢
Does Amazon ship there? I’ve always wondered
Im sure philipino knives are pretty dam good tho right? Ive seen some bad ass knives the vilagers use. Phoof!
Cool,411
a full tang doesnt mean it goes through the handle ..that is what tang means
so this knife has a tang
now for a full tang you need a massive solid piece which this kniefe has not
its a skeleton tang
Correct 👍👍 I sent this one back after further research of the tang 💯
it’s only mini compared to the Micro ( :
👍
