Hello Bladeforums!
I'm sharing my Tracker I just finished.
1/4" X 8" 80Crv2 blade with a controlled heat treatment and double temper. Convex axe with a flat ground draw knife. Distal taper, Hand sanded, buffed and blued...then lightly sanded and buffed again..
Red G10 (.125) liners with natural micarta applied with long set epoxy and stainless steel tube rivits.
The long saddle spine is intended for use as a scraper for finishing wood projects around camp. The front "swedge" isn't a swedge, I rounded that portion of the spine for batoning or use as a draw knife handle.
I am planning on starting several of these if there is enough interested parties. I have the steel ready to cut. I am thinking about doing a couple hidden tang versions to cut another ounce or two of weight.
