Tom Brown Tracker
4/20/2012 5:06:28 PM
I did a search but didn't have any results. Saw a too good to be true price for the mini Tracker ($38) and the next day the order was canceled due to being out of stock. From the comments I've read on the tracker series the blade bevel is extreme. For those that have a Tracker how do you sharpen yours?

Try here! 
According to their website, it's 1095 steel @ RC58... should be easy to sharpen by any method you like...

I sharpened mine, while I had it, with regular stones.
The bevel is pretty steep, but not so steep that you won't be able to sharpen it.
The knife is an excellent design, that TOPS messed up. Had they left the steep, axe like angle on the top portion of the blade, but put a shallower grind on the bottom, straight portion, the knife would be much more usable.
I replaced my Tracker with one of these:

It has the same handle as a Tracker, chops better, and actually works better for normal cutting chores than the tracker did.

I own one.. I have no problem sharpening it. The only problem I have with it is the belt clip on the sheath kinda sucks!

I like the WSK Red scorpion six model way better. I wish I could have afforded one when they were still made. I like the tops Tracker but as stated not thought out as well My buddies red scorpion model so much nicer I am envious of it.
