SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TOPS Tom Brown Tracker 2 is a purpose-built survival knife designed to meet the challenges of the wilderness head-on. Created by renowned survival expert Tom Brown Jr., this compact yet formidable tool carries forward the legacy of the original Tracker, offering a balanced blend of cutting power, control, and versatility in a slightly more manageable size. With a design that draws from real-world survival experience, the Tracker 2 is trusted by outdoorsmen, bushcrafters, and professionals who demand reliability in every stroke.
At the heart of the Tracker 2 is a 5.5-inch fixed blade crafted from 1095 high carbon steel, heat treated to 56–58 Rockwell hardness. The blade is coated in a rugged Coyote Tan finish, providing both corrosion resistance and a non-reflective surface ideal for tactical and field use. Its unique compound grind sets it apart from ordinary fixed blades: the forward section features a wide 3.5-inch curved edge for chopping, slicing, and skinning, while the rear portion includes a 2-inch straight edge designed for finer tasks like scoring and notching. A sawback spine adds even more utility, allowing the blade to handle cutting tasks that extend beyond traditional knife work.
The knife’s full tang construction ensures strength throughout, giving the user confidence whether batoning through wood or performing delicate carving. Comfort and grip security are achieved through green canvas Micarta handle scales, shaped with finger grooves and a notched thumb ramp for control during heavy use. A lined lanyard hole at the base allows for additional retention options in demanding environments.
Carrying the Tracker 2 is equally practical thanks to its Coyote Tan Kydex sheath, complete with a rotating spring steel clip for multiple carry positions. With an overall length of 9.5 inches and a weight of just 9.6 ounces—14 ounces with the sheath—it’s compact enough for belt carry without sacrificing the muscle expected of a survival blade. Built entirely in the USA, this knife represents TOPS Knives’ commitment to rugged, field-tested gear that stands up to the harshest conditions.
The TOPS Tom Brown Tracker 2 isn’t just another fixed blade—it’s a multifunction survival system designed to do more with less, making it an essential companion for those who refuse to compromise when it comes to their gear. Be ready for your next wilderness challenge with this Fixed Blade from TOPS Knives at SMKW!
