He's not taking orders, so you'd have to find one on the secondary market. It seems The Glorious Beacon of Light bought one on the exchange in December for $350. Hang on, and I'll shoot him a PM to see if he wants to comment on it.
 
dan koster design is nice to but his site isn't fully functional at the moment, also remember that i got 300 bucks if its gonna be more then that just for the knife i can't get it

Dan has his own sub-forum here at Bladeforums, you might contact him there if interested.
 
I have owned one for over 2 years...I admit, I like the idea of the knife...the original knife, from TOPS has some big issues, yes its tough, and feels great in the hand, but the blade grinds are all wrong..they are steep and hollow gound..giving the edge a blunt profile.....in short, they cut like crap, I had to work long and hard on mine to turn it into a close second to an orginal Beck, which I have never heard a bad comment on, other than the price. Here is what mine looks like now, it used to look like the knife you want to order does....trust me, unless you know what you are doing on the grinder, you will have a hard time with the draw knife to chopper transition. I have posted these pics before, but since you are asking:D OH, it cuts great now.

thats nice look'n and yeah i wont be moding anything,i wish i could but i can't because i'm stupid and it would end up costing me a nice knife, i just wanted your opionions seem to be mix reviews. so gunknifenut what your saying it when you go to chop like a hatchet it dosen't bite into the wood. someone said it here in the end you either love the knife or hate it. i will admit i'm a fanboy of "THE HUNTED" and thats where i saw the tracker for the first time LITERALY love at first sight
 
You cannot buy the Tracker.
Moreover, you cannot enjoy it or say that it works well or is durable.
Not on these forums.

There is only one knife brand that is any good and we all know what that brand is.
If you ever compare your Tracker to our brand, we will gang up on you, belittle you,
hijack your thread, start our own thread and quote you out of context.

I’m just kidding of course.
KIAHS hit the nail on the head.

Go for the tracker. Have fun with it. You’ll probably buy more knives later anyway.
 
probobly! if i do get another knife i will get that busse next i promise cause it really is badass looking
 
I got my wife a Tracker 2 because she is a Tom Brown fan.

She took it out in the woods and fooled around with it.

Looked at me and said:

"It is obvious to me that Tom Brown has never owned a khukuri"

;)

At least on the Tops model the blade is very thick and the angle of the edge very steep.

You can pick up a 15" khukuri for about a THIRD of the price that will basically do everything the Tracker will do and better IMO.
 
trust me i like khukuris but i own a machete. i'm a big dude man, i am not gonna be doing what you guys think i'm gonna be doing anytime soon. i live in jersey (i got a tom brown tracking school 3 hours away from me!) i'm from brooklyn i'm not gonna be roughing it anytime soon, mabye in the near future and if i do go camping i will bring my machete, its a army surplus one i got in army/navy store i went for boots and walked out with a machete. i mean like i'm set on the choping front, i got a nice little hatchet to. what i do plan on doing is throwing the tracker for fun

Hollowdweller, that's the funniest thing I've read in quite awhile!!!

Thanks for posting it, and your wife must be quite a woman!!! :D:thumbup:
 
I own a tracker.I also own a predator and I also have a busse.I love them all and won't hesitate to use any of them in the woods for anything.
If you like it.buy it.You'll get a ton more enjoyment out of something if you really like than something someone else liked more than your first choice.
happy hacking.
 
i like the predator design because its closer to dave becks but its just that its made of regular stainless isn't it cause the predator wsk is my second choice but a very very close second, if it came with a kydex sheath that would be awesome
 
I actually like the design of the predator better than the Tops one.The handles are a little on the smooth side though.I have a para cord knuckle guard on mine to help hold it in place when doing heavy chopping.
 
I will admit they got one thing right, small of back carry is very comfortable when going up and down hills and walking
