Track Further. Cut Harder. Carry Ready.
Built for the outdoorsman who demands a fixed blade that performs across every field task — this carbon steel tracker survival knife delivers the wide blade authority of a tactical tanto with the carry-ready practicality of a purpose-built survival tool. The 7-inch wide tanto-style carbon steel blade is satin polished and features a blood groove fuller running the length of the flat and aggressive spine serrations that add a secondary cutting surface for rope, cordage, and camp processing tasks. The black grooved Micarta handle fills the hand with a confident, non-slip grip under any conditions — integrated finger grooves and a lanyard hole complete the tactical, field-ready character. The black leather MOLLE-compatible horizontal sheath keeps this knife accessible and secure in any carry configuration.

Blade Details
The wide tanto profile is one of the most capable blade geometries for a survival and tracker fixed blade. The broad flat grind delivers maximum cutting surface across the blade’s width, while the tanto tip — with its reinforced, angled point — provides exceptional tip strength for piercing, prying, and precision work where a conventional drop point would risk tip damage. The satin polish is applied by hand across the full blade flat, leaving a clean matte-bright finish that shows the quality of the grind while reducing glare in the field. A blood groove fuller runs parallel to the spine, lightening the blade and adding a purposeful tactical character. Spine serrations along the back edge provide a secondary cutting surface for processing rope, cordage, and camp materials without wearing the primary edge.
Handle Details
Black grooved Micarta is one of the most practical handle materials available for a working survival knife. The horizontal groove pattern is machined across the full handle surface, providing a positive non-slip grip under wet, cold, or gloved-hand conditions where smooth surfaces become unreliable. Micarta itself is impervious to moisture, temperature changes, and oils — it will not swell, crack, or become slippery with extended field use. Integrated finger grooves are sculpted into the handle profile for a natural, controlled hand position during sustained use. The lanyard hole at the butt allows wrist retention during aggressive tasks and provides an attachment point for paracord carry options.
Sheath Details
The black genuine leather sheath is designed for horizontal MOLLE-compatible carry — the preferred carry configuration for a tracker-style knife where quick, flat access is more practical than conventional vertical hip carry. Four silver rivets reinforce the construction at stress points and add a premium hardware detail. Belt loops are positioned for comfortable horizontal carry at the hip, back, or chest rig depending on your carry preference. Built to handle the weight and daily carry demands of an active outdoor fixed blade.
Craftsmanship
Every element of this knife is built by hand. The blade is forged, ground to the wide tanto profile, fuller-grooved, and satin polished by a craftsman. The spine serrations are cut by hand. The black grooved Micarta handle is shaped, grooved, and fitted to the full tang. The leather sheath is cut, riveted, and assembled by hand. This is genuine handmade fixed blade craft built for serious outdoor use.

Care Instructions
Wipe the blade dry after each use. Apply a light coat of mineral oil or blade oil to the carbon steel surface regularly to prevent oxidation. The satin finish can be maintained with a soft polishing cloth. The grooved Micarta handle requires no maintenance and can be cleaned with soap and water. Condition the black leather sheath seasonally with leather conditioner. Store in a dry, ventilated environment.
Keep out of reach of children. Always follow applicable local, state, and federal laws regarding carrying of fixed-blade knives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a tanto blade good for survival and tracking use?
The tanto tip geometry features a reinforced, angled point with substantial steel behind it — making it significantly stronger than conventional drop point or clip point tips. This allows the tanto to handle piercing, prying, and tip-stress tasks that would chip or break a more tapered tip profile. The wide blade also maximizes cutting surface for slicing tasks.
What are spine serrations used for?
Spine serrations on the back edge of the blade provide a secondary cutting surface optimized for sawing through rope, cordage, bark, and soft wood. They are particularly useful for camp and survival tasks where you want to preserve the primary edge for skinning and food prep while using the spine for heavier processing work.
Why is a MOLLE horizontal sheath better for a tracker knife?
Horizontal carry positions the knife flat across the body — making it faster to access in a field situation than a vertical hip-hung carry. MOLLE compatibility allows the sheath to be attached to tactical vests, belts, and packs in multiple configurations depending on your carry preference and activity.
Is this a full tang knife?
Yes — full tang construction runs the carbon steel through the complete 5-inch Micarta handle for maximum strength and balance throughout the full 12-inch length.
Is this knife suitable as a gift?
Yes. The wide tanto blade, grooved black Micarta handle, and MOLLE tactical leather sheath make this a highly distinctive and impressive gift for any outdoor enthusiast, hunter, or tactical knife fan.
