D2 Tracker Knife Full Tang - Fixed Blade Hunting Knife with Sheath - Used For Bushcraft Outdoor Survival Camping With Black Micarta Handle

Despite some of the negative reviews, my tracker knife came in near perfect condition including the sheath and buttons. The only defect was some minor burring or slight rust on the top of the spine, but nothing a little polishing cant fix. more importantly, the handle was perfect with no haps and no cracks. The blade is sharp, the saw teeth are not sharpened. I have yet to try this out next time I’m out camping but will have fun giving this a go. This tracker is smaller and lighter than the Tops and Dave Beck versions, so you get what you pay for. If they made a larger version, i might be interested if my testing goes well with this small version.

I confess that I collect blades and like unusual variants. Anyway, I wanted a horizontal knife for the small of the back and this fills the bill. Heavy D2 carbon steel with a thick blade capable of chopping thru woody brush. The sheath is well made too.

Just like the title says. Happy with the knife, the sheath is so rusted inside and out I’m not even comfortable keeping the knife in it.

I really do love the knife; it is sharp, thick, and is strong D2 Steel. The Price was right also which was a nice plus, also you can really get a bit rough with this knife with no issues. The Sheath on the other hand is not a nice as the knife, the main issue is that the Sheath has cheap buttons that come pre-Rusted. I did have to replace all of the buttons on this Knife Sheath, after replacement the Sheath was 10 X's Better. Do not let the Sheath Button issue stop you from getting this knife, it is easy & cheap to put good buttons on the Sheath. If you're a Knife Sheath stickler, then you should actually purchase a better separate Sheath.

Aesthetically the knife has major potential. I would pay $125 for this if the sheath was of a thicker leather with better buttons/snaps or a kydex sheath and the knife was perfected on the issues I state below. Make it flawless and sell a better product. The design is great and has major potential but misses the mark big time. Read below for a better idea of why…Knives are a major part of my daily life. I have a deep love and appreciation of edged tools and weapons. I own many ranging from now $40 dollars for a knife (Warivo) to well over $2,00O for a custom usa made knives. From Busse, to Winkler to David Beck, Half Face Blades, Tops, Bark River, Hammer Down Forge, Dark Timber, Wenger, Fiddleback, Fletcher knives etc… I did not expect to receive perfection from a $40 knife but I do expect it to be straight for its length and the scales flush with the tang (no gaps). I also expect a finished product with a grinder removing jagged spines as if someone took a hammer to it and did not grind the deformity off. Well the Warivo Tracker has all those issues.I am sending back the 1st one due to a bent spine and a major gap in the left hand scale. This will surely break in the near future and cause bigger issues. The handle as well as the spine are incredibly important. Those issues can usually not be easily fixed. A dull blade is one thing, you can atleast sharpen that. I have requested a return on this blade.Days later…The second knife has arrived and has some of the similar issues. I did not expect it to be like my 2 Tops T1’s, my sons Tops T2 and my two T3’s with zero imperfections. However, Warivo I expect it to still show some sort of precision craftsmanship and quality control.I waited to draft this review to give the 2nd knife a chance for corrections but frankly, they missed the mark as well as the You Tube Reviewer that intrigued me to give this a try. If you want viewer ship and followers, please be detailed and accurate as well as have knowledge of comparable knives. Learn what a great knife is compared to a less then quality knife such as this minus the quality for this Warivo Tracker. If I was sent a third that was flawless I would leave an excellent review but I highly doubt someone cares enough as the knife is a representation of not caring enough…

having a sharp hook at the transition is the whole point of this knife design. This knife appears on the advertisement to have that, but mine was completely dull and flat. had to spend half an hour with a grinder and some stones to get it to a point where it might be viable, barely. secondly, the teeth on the spine are not very effective, so back to the grinder to sharpen that up. For the price though, assuming its really d2, properly heat treated, and holds up to some work the next time I'm out, then it isn't a terrible deal. Based on positive assumptions, I give it a 3, because it basically gets you 90 percent of the way to an effective tool, can be corrected, and it is low cost.

I purchased this knife for a couple of reasons. I remember watching “The Hunted” as a teenager and thought that knife was awesome. recently i rewatched the movie and decided i was going to make one. i have access to most of the things needed at my job, but then decided to do a google search and saw i could just buy one. i also want to get into bush crafting and survivalist activities so this is a perfect type of tool for that.out of the box the blade feels sharp to the touch. i even performed the shaving test and it shaved my arm hairs effortlessly. the ridges on the back all feel and look even to me and i’m sure will notch wood with no issue. i wrapped my handle with hockey tape, not because the handle is horrible, but because i like the added thickness and grip.i do not have another knife to compare this to like a Tom Brown tracker. so for now this is pretty much all i know. BUT, it makes more sense to me to start here with this version before spending $200-$500 on the top of the line. will come back and update as i get to put to use.

That’s knife is awesome good weight very sharp on delivery, I have not use this for throwing yet cause I just received it a week ago, the case isn’t so bad seems a little flimsy , whenever I pull the knife out of the case, the gut hook hits the fan leather strap, and will probably cut through the thin leather, if I can come up with a thicker leather option that’s the way I’m going to go, but for the price and the knife that you get you cannot go wrong with it
