For Sale: Customized TOPS Tracker with Hedgehog Sheath

[Colin Jason]

I ask that you please excuse any rambling made, as I'm close to passing out for the night. I figured I'd torture myself, and try to make the fastest for sale posting ever!

For sale is my customized full size TOPS Tracker, and black Hedgehog sheath. These units are pretty hefty, and the needless to say, these never had the best edge. So, I took it over to my pal and knifemaker, Michael Burch, and had him work on it a bit. The blade edge has been re-profiled to actually get a SHARP edge, and to make maintenance of said edge so much easier. Needless to say, this sucker will slice with ease now. (got the scars to prove it!) The edge was bead blasted after the work was done, so it has a nice 2-tone coloration. You can also see the tempering line as well. The saw on the back was also thinned at an angle, so the teeth work more effectively. You can consider this blade "tuned" for work.

The Hedgehog sheath is quite impressive. Worlds better than the junk that came with the knife originally. This is designed for small-of-the-back carry, with a right-hand draw.

This knife was a user, so it's far from mint in condition. I've used it very little myself, as my outdoor pursuits have been few and far between over the last several years. Please see the photos for condition.

Asking price: $325 obo.

This includes insured USPS Priority Mail shipping to your doorstep.

The only trades I'm interested in at the moment would be for a Spyderco Paramilitary in camo. Feel free to offer whatever, but please understand my wants at the moment are limited.


Please feel free to shoot me a PM, or simply post in this thread if you have questions. I may amend or add to this listing later, so bear with me. Photos are below! Thanks for looking!

Good Morning again,

As I was going over this knife again, I remembered that part of the work I had Michael Burch do, was attempt to lighten it by drilling holes in the tang area. As anyone familiar with these knives can tell you, they are decidedly handle-heavy. I've removed the scales, and taken photos of this area, to ensure all modifications are disclosed to the potention buyer. I can assure you that this work has not compromised the strength of this. However, as the work does look pretty rough (even though it's covered by the handle scales), I'm making a big reduction in the price. This will be the only one I do guys.

Price: 265 obo!

I won't be making any further reductions in price. If this doesn't go now, I'll just hang onto it, and advance with further modifications. You're getting a hell of a deal here! It's like buying the sheath, and getting the knife completely free!

Thanks for your interest!
