I think we need a re-test of the Cold Steel GI Tanto (the first JOEX review didn't include the iron rod). That knife is only $30 and in concept very comparable to the TOPS here. I don't think the GI Tanto would perform as well as this, but when the Tom Brown Tracker costs 7X more it really doesn't need to.

[@joex]

it will happen soon!!!! but no spoilers this time!

[@d.b.hemlock]

Goodness, the love / hate relationship continues with the Tops T1 Tracker... As for the Tops lineup of Tracker knives, the T3 is by far the best of the bunch for performance. The T1 Tracker is more of a sharpened pry bar if you can call it that. I've been hired to modify countless T1 Trackers over the years. The primary problems people wanted taken care of was the double finger grooves and the primary bevel. Once you knock off one or both of the finger grooves and take take the shoulder off the primary bevel (subsequently turning the front portion of the Blade into a convex edge) the knife performs significantly better. There was a point in time where I was sending out modified Trackers nearly every day for a year. Some slight tweaks to the design make a huge difference that's for sure. Generally impressed it survived as long as it did. Congratulations Joe! You finally found a Tops you couldn't break! 🤘

[@joex]

yeah, this one is unbreakable! but Tops should change some things, i dont understand why they did not do it, when the problem is known!!!! cheers my friend!

[@d.b.hemlock]

@@joex it's a problem that's been brought up many times. I've spoken to them personally about it, and if I remember correctly it was even brought up in my episode of the Daily Grind podcast. They just don't see a reason enough to change it, and the designer was only in it for the money capitalizing off the film success. Oh well.

[@joex]

yeah, weird overall this story! but the next Tops blade will suffer! promise!

@@joex Thanks for your videos. Man oh man. You really put knives through their paces like no other. 😂👍

[@MrRugercat45]

I think that if the secondary bevel was removed and it was sharpened properly this would completely change the performance of this knife. The weight and thickness of the steel is plenty to make it chop very well. Glad to see that your old videos are still available for watching. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let the idiots stop you, there’s a lot more idiots out there than intelligent people unfortunately. We love you and your videos, even though you are much harder on the knives than I would be, it’s nice to see what it can take before breaking. Take care!

I would say I'm surprised it survived the iron rod but the blade is only 6" long, the design is basically just taking a whole 1/4" bar of steel and minimally shaping it.
