Overview: Tom Brown Tracker #2 Multi-Purpose Survival Blade
The TOPS Tom Brown Tracker #2 TBT-020 is a smaller version of the legendary knife featured in the movie “The Hunted.” Designed by renowned survivalist Tom Brown Jr., this versatile blade combines chopping power, carving precision, and sawing capability into one robust tool. Moreover, the 5 inch 1095 high carbon steel blade delivers exceptional performance for wilderness survival and bushcraft applications. The distinctive blade design includes multiple functional zones for different tasks. As a result, outdoor enthusiasts can carry one tool instead of multiple specialized knives.
At 9.6 ounces, the Tracker #2 balances substantial cutting power with manageable weight for daily carry. The blade measures approximately 2.5 inches shorter than the original Tracker #1. In addition, the 0.190 inch thickness provides robust strength while maintaining reasonable portability. Furthermore, the unique blade geometry allows users to chop like a hatchet, carve like a precision knife, and saw through branches when needed.
The 2 inch secondary edge on the spine creates additional cutting capability. The sawback design enables notching and scoring for shelter construction and trap making. Consequently, survival instructors and wilderness professionals have embraced the Tracker #2 as an indispensable field tool. For those seeking a complementary compact EDC blade, consider the TOPS Tom Brown Scout TBS-010 from A Cut Above Blades.
Features: Legendary Design Meets Field Versatility
The 1095 high carbon steel blade is heat treated to 56-58 HRC for optimal edge retention. Moreover, this hardness enables the blade to withstand chopping and batoning tasks that would damage softer steels. The Black Traction Coating protects against corrosion while adding grip texture to the spine for better control. Furthermore, the coating reduces reflection for tactical applications and wildlife observation.
The Black Linen Micarta handle provides secure grip in wet conditions and temperature extremes. In addition, the ergonomic design accommodates multiple hand positions for different tasks. The included black Kydex sheath features a multi-position spring steel clip for versatile carry options. Consequently, users can mount the knife vertically, horizontally, or on MOLLE equipment.
