I was making some kindling today and thought I'd play with a few knives while I was doing it.....

My JK Hiker is a pretty beefy blade but it looks quite the slim jim next to the Tracker....then again most knives do !!!!

My little ML still wins when it comes to fuzzys......

Started to rough out a quick spoon with the ML as well....

I really like that ML knife Pit. Sort of a demi-puuko? You did a great job with the handle. And Matt makes a great knife.
 
I've liked most of the ML blades I've come across, and this one is no different than the others in those terms. Looks like a great user :thumbup:
 
Hi Pit, I imagine since the nights are cooling off down here already they are getting chilly up there already. I have always thought the tracker design was interesting but it never really appealed to me for some reason. I have always wondered what it was about that didn't or if it is just a combination of things. Tell me, would you feel comfortable with it as your only knife in a longer term wilderness adventure?
 
Man, that tracker is really starting to grow on me...

Do you happen to have an in-hand pic of that little ML?

Yeah I'd feel comfortable with just the Tracker. In my opinion though when they made the Tracker 2 they went about it the wrong way, they reduced the stock to 3/16" which was a good thing but then they went and reduced the dimensions as well which took away from the effectiveness of the design.A Tracker that is the size of the Tracker 1 but outta 3/16" stock would in my opinion be a great improvement.

Thanks Pit. So, you'd rather have a thinner 1 than a thicker 2?
