New Tracker Blade

Yeah, there's no sheath included. I asked about the sheaths and he just told me to wait a little bit on it cuz he was trying to work out a deal with Hedge Hog Leatherworks. Idk if I'd do one of the leather sheaths they always have on Ebay or not. They're pricy. I think I saw one for like $135! The ones at Hedge Hog are $109-$150! I guess there's nothing cheap anymore.
 
here is a picture of his ebay one....

In one area he says the knife is 13" and in another he says 12".

The micarta handle seems to blend well with the tang and looks great. I can't tell by the picture, but the saw teeth look like they were made at inconsistent angles and gapping. However, if they will cut at an even depth when level, then effectiveness outweighs cosmetics.

The quarter rounder looks beautiful.

I can't tell from the pics what kind of traction he offers for the thumb for both regular and inverse grips. Also, the depth of the belly along the curve of the hatchet also appears tapered unevenly.

I told RS6 that I didn't see that special characteristic that sets it apart from Beck, Linger, TOPS, jenseneliteblades, etc., that he could market making it his own signature.
 
Yeah, I saw the weird taper grind on the gut hook too. That picture looks like he might have just taken out the background with an imaging program though which would make the edges a bit rough anyway. Man, this is like discussing bigfoot. Pictures just don't offer any proof.
 
Got a new picture for you guys. You can see the saw back a little better too.

That pic really makes the knives look a whole lot better than what I have seen so far. I am willing to wait until after Feb. gets here, and see how the knife reviews go. I explained to Aaron that most of us here probably felt very strange about the way he just popped up out of nowhere and started marketing a version of the WSK. Everything seemed suspicious about the whole deal. I am not judging his character, but Aaron did appear to evade questions about the product. He was nice enough to send me some pics of the knives he said he had laying around. I will post those in a bit to this same thread. I really hope to hear about this product when someone gets one. For Aaron's sake, I hope he proves to be an honorable human being and businessman.

One last thing...did anyone realize, I just found this interesting, that the Paratraxx http://www.stircraz.cnc.net/paratraxx.html (cheap WSK knockoff) came in 440 as well? I wonder how hard it would be, and how much it would cost to buy several, have them re-contoured, and slap some new handles on them? LOL!! Just messing around. -Damion
 
Yeah, I've been looking at those paratraxx knives for awhile too. They look alright. I hate the extra knife in the handle though. I'd still get one to play with though.

Wow, this knife must be cursed or something. That other thread about it was like WW III. Just so you all know, I'm not in cahoots with RS6 but I'm open to all suggestions on the various ways you'd like me to test this blade out to make sure it isn't a POS.

WW III :D
Hippiesmurf69 I don't know the game you play :cool: but let us know
 
We named it the "PREDATOR" because although a useful tool, this knife is designed to enable the user to take down prey.

-from their website.

I almost pissed myself :D
 
Sorry about the images guys. They looked perfectly fine last night. Not sure what happened there. I think the pic above (with all the knives together) looks really nice. Of course I could never truly tell the quality of a knife until either I have held it, or someone I trust has held it and gave me their opinion. As I said before, I am willing to withhold any comments until Aaron gets his operation off the ground and someone gives us a review, or I have used one myself. I could try posting those pics again if you all would like. Not sure if it would work, but I could give it a shot if you would like. ???

Hey guys, he's selling a real Beck tracker on Ebay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/Dave-Beck-Wilderness-Survival-Knife-Tracker-WSK_W0QQitemZ7217901889QQcategoryZ42576QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Well I will Be damned...I currently have my WSK, and companion up for sale on ebay also item number (6603221428). I noticed that he was one of the bidders earlier, and he had wrote me,and asked what my reserve was just yesterday. If you look at the two auctions his started yesterday it looks like around 8:20. I received the email from him asking about what my reserve was very close to the same time. I guess I cant blame somebody for trying to sell a knife when there is another one out there drawing attention, but it kind of rubs me wrong that they would ask me what my reserve is, bid on my knives, and list one just like it, all in the same day. Am I wrong guys or is this a little sideways?
