Wilderness Survival Kukri

[Daniel Koster]

Thought it would be nice to take the Tracker design and put more emphasis on the chopping ability (hence the kukri influence).

Hope to offer this one in cocobolo as well as G-10 (shown above).

The steel is 5160, 1/4" thick
Primary grind is flat, secondary (draw knife) is hollow.
Sawback is like the SAK sawblade (similar to Beck original).
False edge on top
Two lanyard holes (front and back of handle)
Finger ring instead of guard + hole in blade allow for 8 grip positions
Overall length is 14"
Weight is 19 oz.
Balance is right in the finger ring.
Either Kydex or Leather sheath available.

Thanks for looking!

That's cool Daniel. Looks like a lot of work went into making that.:thumbup:

I would personally prefer no saw and only the finger hole. This knife appeals to me much more than those based on the Beck/Brown design.

Although I find the Tracker design to be one of the goofiest, ugliest knives ever, I like what you've done with this one. What's with the front hole though?

 

[Daniel Koster]

Thanks for the kind words, guys.


The front hole has two functions:


First, to aid in using the knife as a drawknife (which unlike the regular tracker, can actually be used effectively to drawknife)

(can't really see it, but my middle finger is "in the hole")


Second, to use as a scraper or ulu (push cut).
