one is the tom brown tracker , the other is the red scorpion six blades predator.
first impressions
tom brown tracker
the tracker weighs a tonne , and is a lot bigger in person then it looks in photos . i don`t particularly like the feel of the micarta , but it doesn`t matter as i`m having the handle scales replaced with ringed gidgee scales in march/april , the knife will be staying mint until then , then i`ll use it. i also don`t like the look of the red liners , but for some reason can`t think of another colour that would suit it. not black , thats for sure. i do like this knife and could get used to the micarta. its not that i hate the micarta scales on this knife (i love micarta) but it would take me some getting used to. haven`t tried the sheath as it will scratch the knife and like i said i`m keeping it mint until i`ve had my custom work done, which will include a fully custom leather horizontal sheath for it. wasn`t all that sharp either for a brand new knife. (mind you i collect spydercos , sogs , victorinoxs , bucks , cold steels and benchmades , so i have a very high standard of sharp)
red scorpion six predator
i like the feel of the micarta on this one better , plus it has a better weight to size ratio in my opinion . the predator definitely has the better saw . the lack of a sheath is the only thing stopping me from using it. i like this design better only because its closer to the dave beck wsk i badly want but can`t afford . last dave beck wsk i saw was going for $2,100 usd (about $2,700 australian dollars by the time you`ve paid for shipping )
anyways that my thoughts after spending $410 USD to get these two shipped to me here in australia.
anybody use their tracker or predator and have pictures?
