Urban Knife Guy shares his thoughts on and field-tests the original Tracker Knife that was designed by Robb Russon.
The tracker knife is long believed to be the sole creation of Tom Brown Jr, a survival instructor from New Jersey. The knife's claim to fame is when it was a featured prop in the 2003 movie "The Hunted", starring Benicio Del Torro and Tommy Lee Jones.
The version of the tracker that is most well-known today is manufactured by Top Knives. Called the Tom Brown Tracker, it comes in 4 sizes now. But the Tracker 1 is the full-sized one.
The documented truth is that Tom Brown did not design the Tracker, although he claims credit for it. He did provide suggestions on what a one-tool survival knife should be able to do, but he did not design the knife in any technical way.
The original Tracker Knife was designed in 1981 by Robb Russon, a university professor and hobbyist knifemaker from Utah. He had been corresponding with Tom Brown and sent him the prototype for his knife to get feedback on its design as a survival tool.
