The TOPS Tom Brown Tracker Scout is a compact powerhouse, designed for those who value performance, portability, and precision in the field. Built with the same spirit as the legendary Tracker series, this scaled-down version is ideal for everyday carry, backcountry exploration, and survival prep. Whether you're shaving tinder, making notches, or handling camp chores, the Tracker Scout delivers everything you need in a tight, ready-for-anything package.
At the heart of this knife is a 3.25-inch clip point blade crafted from 1095 carbon steel. Known for its toughness and edge retention, 1095 is a go-to choice for survival knives, and the Tracker Scout makes full use of its capabilities. The black traction-coated finish not only adds an aggressive, tactical aesthetic—it also protects the steel from rust and reduces glare. With a .16-inch blade thickness, this knife offers a solid balance between slicing finesse and the durability needed to take on rougher jobs.
Full tang construction ensures the Tracker Scout is built to last. You won’t find any shortcuts here—just a solid slab of steel that runs through the entire handle, giving you strength and stability in every cut. It’s a knife you can count on when things get serious, whether you're off-grid or deep in the woods.
The handle is wrapped in black linen Micarta, a material favored by professionals for its exceptional grip and resilience. It feels great in the hand, even in wet or cold conditions, and its natural texture offers a secure hold without being abrasive. The ergonomic shape lets you work comfortably for extended periods, making it an excellent companion for bushcraft tasks or quick utility work.
Weighing just 6 ounces and measuring 7.25 inches overall, the Tracker Scout is compact enough to carry with you anywhere while still offering the functionality of a much larger knife. The included black Kydex sheath features a rotating clip that adapts easily to your carry style—belt, pack, horizontal, or vertical. However you choose to carry it, the Scout stays secure and accessible at a moment’s notice.
There’s also a lanyard hole at the rear, giving you options for added retention or customization with cordage. It’s one more practical feature that makes this knife a true outdoor companion.
Proudly made in the USA, the Tracker Scout carries the legacy of the Tom Brown Tracker line forward with honor. Every detail reflects TOPS Knives’ dedication to quality, function, and real-world performance.
