SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TOPS Tom Brown Tracker 3 is a serious survival tool built to handle the most demanding backcountry and field tasks. Designed by legendary survival instructor Tom Brown Jr., the Tracker series has long been a benchmark in multipurpose fixed blades, known for its unique profile and ability to function as both a knife and a survival system. The Tracker 3 finds its place between the larger Tracker 1 and the more compact Tracker 2, offering a balance of size, power, and maneuverability for those who want one knife that can do it all.
Its 5.75-inch blade is crafted from premium 154CM stainless steel, hardened to 58–60 Rockwell and cryogenically treated for superior toughness and edge retention. The tumble finish not only reduces reflection but also adds rugged character to the blade. With a cutting edge of 5.5 inches, the Tracker 3 features the distinctive compound grind that makes the Tracker series so versatile: a forward-curved belly for chopping and slicing, a shorter straight edge for carving and scoring, and a functional sawback along the spine for notching or light sawing tasks. This combination of edges ensures the knife is ready for anything from preparing game to processing wood for fire or shelter.
Strength is guaranteed by its full tang construction, while the handle is built from black canvas Micarta, providing a secure and comfortable grip in all weather conditions. The ergonomic shaping with subtle contouring and a pronounced thumb ramp gives the user control whether performing powerful chops or fine, controlled cuts. At 13.8 ounces without the sheath, the knife carries a reassuring heft while remaining practical for extended field use.
The included black Kydex sheath is fitted with a rotating spring steel clip, allowing for multiple carry positions to suit your preference and situation. With an overall length of 10.75 inches and a weight of 18.4 ounces with the sheath, the Tracker 3 is robust enough to stand up to survival demands yet compact enough to carry daily in the wilderness.
Featured in the film “The Hunted,” the Tracker has a proven reputation as one of the most capable outdoor blades available. With upgraded stainless steel performance and the balanced size of the Tracker 3, this knife is a trusted choice for outdoorsmen, survivalists, and professionals alike.
