RISING CRAFTS 10.00 Inch Tracker Knife-Survival & Hunting Knife- Custom -Handmade High Carbon Steel for Camping & Bushcarfting-Gift For Men

The first model I bought of this knife Brand was a Tracker with Micarta handle. The knife was well made and had some problems with the blade grind and very dull edge. It took some time for me to fix the issues it had. I bought three other models and all came sharp and with few to no issues or defects. I cleaned the knives thoroughly and checked them closely for issues.One knife out of four is not a bad record for the cost of a knife in this price range. I was looking to see if I like the design style of the knife and cannot say anything about the blade hardness. However, the knives all are as sharp and I have not used then enough to see how long they will stay that way.The knife sheaths are not top quality however, they work. A top quality one would cost more to buy the leather and materials than the cost of two of these knives.

Looks good. The nose geometry is a little funny because it's so stubby, but it's a nice size.The sheath is some sort or heavy duty pleather. It's not that junk vinyl you're uses to seeing, but it is artificial.The knife arrived serviceably sharp. I honed it enough to shave with within a few minutes. I don't know what kind of steel this is and I haven't spark tested it, but from just observations it feels like a high carbon steel, whether it's 1095 is up for debate. It's not heat treated or hard enough for a file to skate over it smoothly, but a file sure doesn't dig in. It's kinda right there with the hardness of the file, or just shy of as hard as a file.This isn't bad, it just means you want to pair this with a diamond sharpening rod or stone in case it needs touched up during your adventuring. NBD. Those ultra hard magic steels are often too hard to sharpen in the field and they've expensive.I originally bought this to knock apart and make a template from so I could make my own, but it's too good a knife for that. I paid $14 and it'd be a bargain at twice the price.

Tracker Knife Review – $14.99 RisingCrafts 8.5” (8Cr14MoV)Specs:• Blade Steel: 8Cr14MoV High Carbon• Blade Length: 4.25”• Grind: Saber• Sawback: Non-functional• Sheath: Secure• Price: $14.99Review:The RC Tracker is the smallest in my collection but stands out as one of the most formidable. Its ergonomic handle and compact 3mm thick, 4.25-inch long blade provide a surprisingly agile and confident in-hand feel. It excels in wood processing, game prep, feather sticks, and even finer tasks like spoon making.While the non-functional sawback is a letdown, the blade throws sparks well, sharpens easily, and holds its edge better than expected for the price. Its size may feel underwhelming for some tasks, but it more than holds its own around the house or at camp. If the sawback was function it’d be an easy 5/5Pros: Affordable, great ergonomics, excellent edge retention, beautiful handleCons: Non-functional sawback, small for some users

This is a beautiful knife, doesn’t feel to balanced but overall very sturdy, came pretty sharp.The sheath offs absolute garbage, knife arrived and 2/23 at 1300. Sheath broke at t1500 with just carry no use. I’ve taken two stars off because it’ll cost more than the knife to make a sheath but all in all the knife itself is an excellent buy for the money.

Great quality, love this knife

Absolute best buy for the money. That said I LOVE it. The wood on one side of the handle is thicker than the other side. I have never seen that before. To me it adds a uniqueness, very beautiful. Now I am going to have to buy another one!

Crappy finish and mold on Sheath when it came in. Grinding on knife not complete one snap dosen't stay shut straps differt length had they finished the knife and did a decent Sheath it would be a good knife seems sturdy and handle fits good. Just not finished and crappy Sheath

It's definitely cute and the size I wanted, but NOT sharp at all. I had to use an X-Acto knife to cut a zip tie cuz this thing wouldn't do it. Darn!
