SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TOPS Tom Brown Tracker 1 Large Fixed Knife is a legendary survival blade, designed by Tom Brown Jr. and recognized worldwide for its unmatched versatility and rugged performance. Immortalized in the film The Hunted and featured on the cover of BLADE Magazine, this knife has become a benchmark for survival and tactical knives, praised for its unique functional design and durable construction. Whether used in the wilderness, on expeditions, or for serious fieldwork, the Tracker 1 is engineered to handle any task with confidence and precision.
Measuring 11.88 inches overall with a 6.38-inch blade, the Tracker 1 combines power and control in a robust, full-tang construction. The blade is forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, hardened to 56–58 Rockwell, and coated in a black traction finish that minimizes glare while providing added protection against corrosion. The blade features a compound survival profile: a sweeping curved belly for chopping and slicing, a 2.13-inch secondary straight edge for carving and fine work, and a sawback spine for notching and light sawing tasks. This combination of edges and angles makes the Tracker 1 a true multi-tool for the field, capable of everything from processing game to preparing firewood.
The handle is crafted from Rocky Mountain Tread (RMT) black linen Micarta, offering a secure and comfortable grip in all conditions. Its textured surface enhances traction even when wet, and the ergonomic shape allows for confident handling whether performing powerful chops or precision cuts. Weighing 21 ounces without the sheath, the Tracker 1 carries a substantial, reassuring heft without being cumbersome.
Included with the knife is a black Kydex sheath fitted with a rotating spring steel clip, allowing for multiple carry positions and easy access in any situation. With the sheath, the total weight comes to 26 ounces, making it practical for serious outdoor use while remaining manageable for extended carry.
The Tracker 1 is more than just a knife—it’s a survival instrument built for professionals, adventurers, and enthusiasts who demand performance, durability, and versatility in one exceptional package. Its proven design and rugged construction ensure that it will perform under the harshest conditions. Shop this unique Rocky Mountain Tread Handle in a legendary survival blade at SMKW today!
