Bark River Tracker Extreme Chopping Test

This is a test of the chopping power on the Bark River Tracker knife. I have put this knife through a series of extreme tests over the past few weeks to see how tough the edge is. Watch and see if this knife breaks chopping ironwood.

Dude, a lot of people are going to jump at my neck soon, but I have to say it any way. PLEASE do not cut a big perfect green tree just to show a knife!, a lot of youtubers are doing that, is wrong. Nice blade by the way.

[@gabehumphries5483]

Joranba that was a guava tree, they're an invasive species here so cutting them down is no big deal they are not even supposed to be here. By the way I did not kill the tree it will grow back bigger actually. Mahalo for watching

[@Joranba]

Hi dude, I did not know about the specie, sorry for that. My reaction is because we have a lot of youtubers doing that without any kind of respect for environment, just showing a new knife, and is wrong. Sorry again!

[@gabehumphries5483]

Joranba NP brah

[@docholiday8618]

Maybe you could state that in a short comment before cutting the tree for those who are environmentally ignorant. Thanks

[@convex7456]

[@charlescollier7217]

Honestly, I've never been a fan of the tracker design, but clearly that Barkie version works really well!

[@gabehumphries5483]

Charles Collier in the next few months I will do a full review and show the full potential of this knife which I'm still learning LOL knife life. Mahalo for stopping by

[@averagebloke4474]

Looks like the skull crusher extreme blade.

[@gabehumphries5483]

Vita man look up the WSK knife. This design is from 1991 and Bark River is the closest to the original designed by David Beck. Mahalo

[@averagebloke4474]

H.I.S Survival haha I thought EJ synder designed it.

[@gabehumphries5483]

Vita man no this knife design has been around for a long time. The Bark River Tracker is almost identical to the WSK( Wilderness Survival Knife).

[@hawaiivolcanosquad3322]

Looks like a good jungle blade

[@gabehumphries5483]

[@BlackRifleSurvival]

The end of your video, you stated its your everything knife! And the knife that butters the bread haha. Good stuff man!

[@gabehumphries5483]

BlackRifle Survival it's everything but a one tool option....LOL

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Gave, Aloha, No Doubt. That B R Tracker is a Beast. But in fact I brought my Fox Hitam Golok which I already had. It's a good one too. not too many vids on it. But its a 9" blade distalled but thick at the base made out of the N690Co Bohler Austrian Stainless. Pretty good stuff. I just got my other Fox Trekker Utility Camp and Sniper Knife. Even though they sound TactiKewl, But both compliment eachother in the bush. But in the Sheath pouch I put my Gerber Gator and it fits perfect in it. Again I just brought my Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw. I think we're in for a nice weekend. a little rain is in the forecast. But no problemo. Mahalo.,,.p

[@chastener666]

Good video man. I from Great Russia.

[@shane4176]

Haha good job Bertha!

[@slimtx84]

great video. quick question, how is the corosion and maintenance on the a2 steel? keep the videos coming.

[@gabehumphries5483]

slimtx84 way better then 1095 I'll say that. If you use it regularly and frog Lube the blade once in awhile also don't leave it in the sheath when storing the knife. I have way too many knives to keep them all clean and use knives way too often so if you don't allow a patina to form and use FrogLube you will never have a problem. I prefer a patina on my blades I think it looks cool but it could eventually cause a problem if you don't use the knife often. I really like A2 Steel it holds an edge for a very long time doesn't chip and don't rust as bad as you would think. I still prefer stainless steel for a smaller knife(edc, fishing) A2 Steel is a great steel for larger blades. Mahalo for watching

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

looks like a good time bro! do you think that it outchops a junglas?

[@gabehumphries5483]

ThePreppersBunkerOutdoors no the jessica x and Junglas will out chop the tracker for sure. Even if you were to raise the front grind a little on the tracker it's still only a 7.5" blade. I prefer a saber grind for everything LOL Mahalo brah shooooots

[@BlackRifleSurvival]

But wait!!!! ESEE is releasing the Junglas II 😜

[@gabehumphries5483]
