I’ll keep "track" of the progress……😘🔪

NIIIICE!!! I love it

Just ordered one!

[@moses777exodus]

Hi Survival Lilly, That looks like a very cool design. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.

[@pavelusa3423]

Perfect.danke

[@colewilson4061]

Lilly that's a kickass knife and I hope you can sell a lot of them but $249 is out of my price range but it's still a piece you should be proud of. take care and be safe 😉

[@Lostinthesand]

Hi Lilly: I just ordered the knife from Canadian Preparedness site. I am happy to pay the full cost of a knife so that I can test them independently and review them. I formerly wrote for Fighting Knives Magazine as a practical field tester. I am alway excited when people Attempt to launch a new product for field use. I have been following your KZbin posts for some time now. Alway happy to see your field reports of new products and equipment. I will in a few weeks write a review back to you once I get the knife and field test it. Best wishes on the launching of a new edge product. Tark

[@strangelyfamiliar1729]

Hi Lilly. Sorry to hijack a part of your comment section here. I have a question for Tark if I may. Btw that's an incredible looking knife. Well done. Hey Tark. I'm waiting on my BK22 by Becker, same knife as the BK2 but w/ a different sheath, and I'm curious what your thoughts are of it. Thanks.

[@daveoneill9246]

Hey Lilly, wow... great job. Glad to see you dropped the sat toothy feature, never found those particularly useful. Purchased new AP-IT a short while ago and looking forward to using it!!

[@humansustainability]

Just ordered my APO-1T! Can't wait to see it in person. Thanks Lilly 💜

[@larryeddings3185]

The APO-1T is an excellent addition to your line of APO-1 knives. I've been using the APO -1 and the APO-1H for several years now and both have performed very well for me in the field.

[@RR9sf]

You mean overpriced and underperformers. What kind of a simp are you

[@seanas80]

I just got my APO-1T arriving yesterday in the UK, Thank you so much for designing this really high quality knife I could not decide from various sites and I've always enjoyed your content and really like this design a lot at first sight. I cannot wait to use it out in the wild.

[@kele1264]

What a beautiful knife, Lilly! Congratulations on this new accomplishment!

[@davidcarter8457]

Good looking and functional, well thought out. Nice work Lilly.

[@davidmace3310]

Looks amazing! Great design. Congrats on your new knife.

[@redsorgum]

Use the curved part in an upward motion to get feather curls.

[@breoganlopez3943]

Great knife lilly!!! I am glad you have a new design, that tracker rocks!!!!

[@tiboricso2904]

Zseniálisan jól elkaptad a tracker újragondolását! Gratulálok!

[@McDingleFart]

Hello Lilly, I’ve received your new APO 1T today. Looking at it and holding it in my hand I have one word to describe it “Phenomenal”. I love it. This thing is sharp, stout and well thought out to be used as an outdoor tracker knife. I know you put a lot of time, effort and research to develop it. I didn’t buy the APO 1S because I waited too long to decide. When this came out I bought it without hesitation. Well Done!! 😊

[@geegnosis8888]

Ordered Lilly. Now we have three! Glad to support you and yours!

[@leobasil1]

My first APO I only bought because it was made by a fellow Austrian, but once I held it in my hands, I was really positively surprised by the feel and usability. Also Iǘe been looking to get a decent Tracker for a while now.... So the moment I saw this video, I ordered.

[@ArmsLovers]

I had purchased the first one, but this time I will pass. This primitive knife of simple steel does not worth $250 USD.

[@wrathofatlantis2316]

@@ArmsLovers "Simple steel" that probably beats all the garbage that has been pushed in the past 20 years... Heat treat is what matters, not steel designation.

[@ArmsLovers]

@@wrathofatlantis2316 Really? Why do you think so many different steels and steel types exist today? And why do you think different heat treatments yield different results on different knives? Dude, this is very, very complicated... there is not one single element can make knife great, everything matters, and should work together: handle, blade geometry, bevel type, thickness, and angle, steel and heat treatment, etc. And even if everything is done right, still there is no guarantee that the knife will be commercially successful. I am collecting knives for the last 25 years, and I have well over 1000 in my personal collection. I do not believe this specific knife worth the money (though I would buy it for about half of its price).

[@wrathofatlantis2316]

@@ArmsLovers Many different steels exist because of hype and marketing. No knife should use CPM steels. I also owned hundreds of knives, and generally the best performing ones were always the expensive factory ones, and the worst the expensive US custom makers like Vaughn Neeley, and one $2000 RJ Martin Blackbird I owned in S30V. Factory steels, especially Seki City factory steels, like Al Mars in Aus-6, will beat all but the best of customs. A very extensive test in the Knives Illustrated of April 1999 used purpose built test mules, no knife variations, and good 440C beat everything else including the two first CPMs and INFI, and this by a large margin, as is my experience. D-2 was second but still behind.

[@ArmsLovers]

@@wrathofatlantis2316 I am not going to argue with you, since you obviously know very little about knives. Find somebody else for your BS.

[@Lazarus-aap]

It is not my kind of knife, but I can really appreciate all the thought you've put into designing it. Well done!

[@FallenAnvilForge]

Looks like a great knife, I'm still saving up for an APO 1S though. I can't even buy one before you come out with another great idea. Keep up the good work Lilly. Stay Safe and warm.

[@nikitachirich7985]

This is a great knife Lilly, reminds me of a knife we had to make in SERE school in my branch of the military, you had to either hammer one out of a pipe and use fire to forge one or use flint and stone to carve one out. They also taught us to throw it straight through tree trunks and practice drills killing people with them. I heard one guy seen too much so he ran off, carved up a couple of hunters with that type of knife, our LT had to go get him at US Marshalls office request. "Those weren't hunters, those were sweepers LT"

[@stephenle-surf9893]

Was he one 🤔 of the usual suspects?

[@nikitachirich7985]

@@stephenle-surf9893 he was but back then they called him Franky four fingers .

[@davidschaeffer7327]

Ordered! Can’t wait. Thanks for your passion.

[@bushcraftcostarica808]

I'm a huge fan of the Tracker design having owned versions by TOPS, Bark River and an original Beck WSK. My absolute favorite though is the Woodsman by Origin Knives. The chopping power is much better, convex grinds are way sharper and the saw is not just for notching. That combination of Tracker/Khukri hybrid flat out works!

[@SurvivalLilly]

Bohler also made a Tracker knife. And I believe Rob Russon was the first who designed the original tracker. www.utahknifeworks.com/tracker-knife-story

[@bushcraftcostarica808]

@@SurvivalLilly yes, you're absolutely right! I love the idea that this design has only been around since the early '80s.

[@SurvivalLilly]

@@bushcraftcostarica808 took me years to understand how brilliant the design is.

[@martinerhard8447]

Not a big fan when it comes to chopping with those. You have to take care to not chop with this transition zone and only with the front Mh why should convexe grinds be sharper?

[@bushcraftcostarica808]

@@martinerhard8447 The Woodsman is a Khukri/Tracker hybrid so hitting the transition is not really an issue. As far as the convex being sharper, I really should have explained that better. The draw knife section of the Woodsman has a finer grind on the convex that the chopping section. It's extremely sharp compared to my TOPS or WSK which have the same grind angle throughout the entire length of the blade.

[@PeterJavea]

An amazingly well thought out knife from an amazing woman who knows her stuff. Not just anyone can do this . From idea to properly produced product So I take my hat off to you.

[@nikolajc7617]

actually its not her who thought out that design, she just changed an a design older than her.

[@willieboy3011]

Looks good, Lilly. I ordered one, and I can't wait to try it out. I love my machetes, but I do not like carrying them on my waist. However, I always carry a knife in the woods.

[@VideosOffRoad]

Hi Lilly! I just received my APO-1T from Canadian Prepper. It is AWESOME. Well done! You should be very proud to have designed such a beautiful and functional knife! My only suggestion for improvement is to replace the simple belt loop (as the video shows) for the sheath with some straps that works with MOLLE systems, like the APO-1S has. If you know of a good source of MOLLE straps that would readily work with this sheath, I would very much like to know that. Thanks again for creating such an excellent survival knife!!!

[@KathysTube]

That's a beautiful knife! Thanks Lily...🤗❤️

[@nullbyte7140]

So Lilly, gesehen und wollen Faktor ... und gleich Bestellt. Freu mich drauf! Dir alles Liebe. Habe ja auch schon das APO 1 & 2, dieses wird mir auch viel Freude bereiten.

[@darktimbercustomknives6248]

I’m extremely happy for you! It’s nice looks to be of great quality and it’s finish work. As someone who has made thousands of knives in both production, and also customs, I can attest to the difficulty of making knives with these types of grinds. I’m sure the price is more than worth the effort you put in and hope that your sales are amazing.

[@Xlivest]

Awesome knife ! Just ordered mines in time woke up in the A.M & found this window thank you !

[@rayduke7433]

Oh wow, this knife looks crazy cool. Looks like a great survival knife! Nice work.

[@abigailmurphy5179]

I love the look of this knife! Looks very sturdy as well! Good job, Lily!

[@marry9894]

❤im so excited!!! i just got my APO 1T today!!! 🎉Cant wait to try it out, it feels great, perfect fit for my hand, thank you Lilly 🇨🇦

[@brandonlemon2060]

Great looking knife, looks like a nightmare to sharpen though. I prefer a straight blade for that reason.

[@SurvivalLilly]

Its not too bad tough

[@leventecsonka874]

You just need a ceramic or a diamond rod and you can sharpen it real quick.

[@jf_c137]

Adding to wishlist! Great job on the design! Looks amazing!

[@jeremybryant5778]

Looks great. If I ever get a tracker, I want yours. I would really like to see JOE X test one. I remember the normal APO 1 did really well.

[@preppingpenguin]

Great work! Beautiful knife worth the time it took for sure. I have your last released knife so know that one is going to be amazing 👏

[@Waldhandwerk]

Beeindruckend liebe Lilly, tolle und schöne Ergänzung zu Deinen coolen Messern! Beste Grüße Sepp

Hallo Lilly, wieder ein tolles Messer !!!! Hab`s gleich bestellt. Bin schon gespannt, wenn Du es das erste mal im Einsatz hast 🙂 Viele Grüße aus Südbaden !!!

[@sammyhooligan803]

Great demonstration of survival knife, looks very useful. Thanks 😊

[@brianknecht3216]

How would you sharpen, especially where the blade curves? Could you do a demo sometime?

[@danhaywood5696]

Id just sharpen the two blade sections separately perhaps, with my Victorinox pocket pen clip sharpening rod. Id use a rod type sharpener.

[@LilLegyiths]

Wow gorgeous! I just ordered one!

[@normanmallory2055]

Wow ! Quite the tool for working in the forests and around camp ! I can see that design being ver useful!

[@douglasreed9237]

Congrats, I'm happy for you because you spend so much time in the woods honing your craft and using the tools of it. I think you were somewhat impressed by the SXB eh. 🙂 Have a great time and stay safe out there and good luck with your endeavor. 👍👍

[@rp8133]

Thanks for the vid. The knife looks like a tool I would like to have in my bag when going into the woods. I realize this one is more a machete or heavy knife for chopping, maybe for batoning, which is appreciated. Nice.

[@Wayne_Smith]

Crocodile Dundee would be proud of you. It's really cool that you have this project to do a lot of testing and improvements on the design. It looks hefty and reliable.

[@aarong1905]

Wonderful Lilly!! You gave thought of everything I would want from a survival knife.

congradulations on your take of that design and the production of your new survival knife Lilly ..seems to be a popular design ...i think stainless would be perfect choice for the yachting community

[@josephmckenna1821]

I love it, i always liked the tracker style, but never liked the "saw back" or the shape of most of them. This one really speaks to me, good job

[@akashanee3048]

I LOVE IT :)) just orderd one - super excited

[@theahalme]

Hi Lily!!! That's what I'm talking about! Love the shape of the knife both blade and handle

[@lancecorporalveteran0621]

My only reference was when I first saw it in the movie The Hunted Always wanted one but never was a fan of the serrated top edge But this looks more like what I'd want

[@CalebNorthNorman]

Wow Nice 👍 I really appreciate your product reviews because they are so thorough.

[@Lostinthesand]

Okay. I received my APO-T1 today thru Canadian Preparedness. I will start the testing this weekend.

Trackers one of my fav knives I carry the clint roberston spartan tracker love this knife design glad there's more trackers out there.

[@TheHuntForSupper]

You could use that flat wedge at the top of the knife for striking flint rods when making a fire.

[@kevinalexander8201]

I think it is very good that you explain your thought process in creating it, because it helps other people to determine the extent to which it meets their needs. very good video.

[@singingtoad]

I really like the new design. Cheers!

[@NaeKid]

Looks like a good choice for using in the woods, part knife and part hatchet

[@wearandtear6692]

Ausgezeignet Lilly! Very creative useful design. Taiwan craftsmanship is awesome. Good luck with your new survival outdoors knife!

[@briantalley8415]

That looks like a good design - it looks like an effective chopper and good all-around bush knife. One of my current SHTF knives is the KA-BAR Becker BK2 which is extremely heavy-duty, but I prefer your blade design.

Lilly, I would love to see a serrated edge on the curved portion of the blade nearest the handle to add to my knife collection. This one will also be a very nice addition to my collection. As always, you’ re the best! Keep up the good work over there in Austria. Auf wiedersehen.

[@SurvivalLilly]

serrations on an outdoor knife is a no no. on urban survival knife I would like it also.

[@dannyleonidas4328]

In Arizona serrations are good in the desert with all the fibrous plants like yucca, agave, etc

[@jonathanlee8709]

Hello Lily, I watched your other video about the energy problem in Europe for this winter. As I know there is way of making hot compost to heat, and also result in compost for plants. I advise if you or others can check further information including government regulations and other concerns (including not to get insects and rats around). If it works and it is ok for your people to use it, this could help more or less for the heating problem.

[@maxwell9734]

Wow, that's a great design! Looks to be a good multi-purpuse tool. The narrow tip would be great for details, yet it's heavy enough for chopping, too. Would be a little tricky to sharpen, but we'll worth the extra effort. I like the 'Shefff' as well!! 🤨 Great piece, Lilly!

[@raphlvlogs271]

the tracker blade type can come in a lot of different variations.

[@OnTheRiver66]

Your best design! I love it. I would have no problem sharpening it.

[@sedonatvcom]

My APO-1T arrived today. What is the best way to attach the belt loop to the sheath? There are 4 holes but only 2 screws.

[@SurvivalLilly]

Only use 2 screws for 2 wholes. The other 2 are for left handed persons
