Tom Brown Tracker

[BELLATOR]

Hello

Has anyone seen the movie "The Hunted" with Tommy Lee Jones and Benecio Del Toro? Well, the movie had some decent action but the story was a little lacking. I don't really want to talk about the movie though. The part that caught my eye was the knife they used in the movie. Has anyone bought or used the "Tom Brown Tracker" from this movie? When I watched the movie I thought I saw a knife similar to this one made by strider. Does anyone else know of a knife made by strider that is similar? Feel free to share any info about the tracker as well.

For the real knife used in "The Hunted" go see Dave Beck at-

He made the knife seen in the film.
I have one of his Wilderness Survival Knives and it is the highest quality imaginable.

I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I have one of Mr. Becks WSK knives as well. It is the same one that is used in the film. Top notch for quality fit and finish and balance. The TOPS version is the production made copy that Tom Brown now has sold. It is not the same as the one in the film like he states.

Thanks to all that contributed to the Tom Brown Tracker questions. Mr. Beck's survival knife used in the movie looks and sounds quite a bit better. A little expensive for my blood. Someday though.

This is an old design that has been around for at 10-15 years. No one person can lay claim to it - but it seems Beck and TOPS seem to be the best at marketing their versions.

When the tide changes...

Dave Beck's been making them since about 1989-90.
